The Firestone Field And Road R-1 is a truly reliable tractor tire. This vintage model goes on older tractors and sprayers, and it is for irrigation applications. What makes this one special is its look, as it is narrow for a specific purpose.
Firstly, this narrow design helps the Firestone Field and Road R-1 move easily through crops without causing much damage. Since the tread is thin, the model can roll between rows of plants or over wet, soft ground without disturbing the soil too much. This also reduces the risk of getting stuck in mud. In farming, where irrigation machines need to move smoothly across the ground, a narrow tire helps minimize the impact on the crops and soil while still providing enough grip to get the job done. Moving on, the 23 degree tread bars give better traction and control, especially on wet or soft ground. These angled bars allow the Firestone Field and Road R-1 to grip the soil without slipping, which is important when moving irrigation equipment through muddy or uneven grounds.
Secondly, the specialized rubber compound handles tough conditions in farming. This rubber is strong and resists damage from things like rocks, rough soil, and water. It also helps the Firestone Field and Road R-1 last longer by reducing wear, even with regular use in wet or muddy fields. It also stays flexible in different temperatures. Equally important, the high void ratio quickly expels debris for a reduced risk of sliding. And lastly, strong sidewalls withstand up to 3,520 lbs per single tire, depending on the size. Finally, the available measurements on the US market start with 28'' and go up to 38'' rim diameter options.
