The Firestone Highway Special I-1 is for use on the front axle of tractors, as well as wagons and implements. Also, it’s designed for highway service. It has a tough build to handle the demands of farming, like rough fields and heavy loads, while still performing smoothly on paved roads.
Firstly, the five rib design provides a balance between grip and stability. In the field, the design helps the Firestone Highway Special I-1 grip the ground better, giving more control on soft or uneven surfaces. On the road, the ribs offer a smoother and more stable ride by evenly spreading the weight across the model. Then, this model also has the approval of the transportation department for highway speeds. So, this agricultural tire can also be used safely on the road. Adding to this, the strong sidewalls withstand up to 4,680 lbs per single tire, depending on the size. They also protect the sides from scrubbing.
Secondly, the closed shoulders improve stability and wear. On the farm, they give the model a solid edge. This helps it stay steady and firm when working on soft or uneven ground. For road use, closed shoulders reduce the model's wear by making sure the edges don't wear down too quickly. Moving on, the resistant rubber compound makes the Firestone Highway Special I-1 strong enough to resist damage from rocks, rough surfaces, and sharp objects. It also stands up well to heat and wear from driving on paved roads. Because of this, the rubber lasts longer and performs better, whether you’re working in the field or traveling on smooth grounds, without wearing out too quickly. Finally, the available sizes on the US market come in a 15'' rim diameter option.
