Firestone FS560 Plus
This model is an all-position tire developed for commercial use to show performance in terms of long-wear, grip, uniform wear, handling responsiveness, traction, and load/people safety. It is especially recommended for steer application in regional haul and P&D services.
The FS560 Plus model comes with an advanced tread compound molded into a five-rib tread design to deliver excellent handling characteristics and improved adherence in wet and dry conditions. It uses an optimized footprint for better pressure distribution providing increased mileage, grip, superb traction, and load safety.
For safety reasons, this model has a trustworthy protector rib on both sidewalls designed to combat initiation and spread of irregular wear reducing casing damage from cuts, snags, and other road hazards. Four circumferential grooves combined with flow-through grooves guarantee increased hydroplaning resistance by better water and slush dispersion from under the tire contact patch, providing the best braking and grip performance. To prevent stone drilling and retention, the Firestone engineers use innovative tread geometry maintaining casing retreadability.
Firestone FS560 Plus is available in 22.5 and 24.5-inch sizes, with 18/32” and 19/32” tread depth, being one of the best all-position/steer tire options for a wide range of commercial vehicles used in goods transportation and construction applications.
