Firestone FT455 Plus
This model is a fuel-efficient single/tandem trailer position tire developed especially for commercial use providing load safety, uniform tread wear for extra mileage, and additional road adherence. It is designed to be used on long and regional-haul services.
The FT455 Plus comes with a SmartWay verified and CARB compliant tread compound molded into a five-rib design with a large footprint for better pressure distribution providing increased mileage, adherence, and more lateral stability at the same time. It uses the 12/32” tread depth to promote increased fuel efficiency, more mileage, and additional casing durability. Firestone engineers use the latest innovation in the tire industry to provide longer wear and lower rolling resistance by predicting rubber characteristics at the molecular level.
For safety reasons, this model includes an optimized belt package to deliver reduced weight for improved rolling resistance. Due to straight, flow-through grooves, the tire provides high aquaplaning resistance by better water and slush dispersion from under the footprint, improving wet braking and traction performance.
Firestone FT455 Plus is available from 22.5-inch sizes backed by long-lasting treadwear being one of the best trailer position options for a wide range of vehicles used in goods and construction transportation.
