A great tire choice for your medium horsepower tractors is the Firestone Performer 70 R-1W. From the previous version, this agricultural model has upgraded performance. Hence, with this one, you can trust your tractor to work efficiently, no matter the conditions.
Firstly, the R-1W lug depth is approximately 25% deeper in the central part, compared to other tread designs on other models. This depth and dual angle pattern grip better on soft, wet, or muddy ground. This extra depth helps the machine get better traction and move more easily through challenging soil, preventing it from slipping or getting stuck. Moving on, the flexible sidewall absorbs bumps and shocks, giving the tractor a smoother ride. It also spreads the weight of the vehicle more evenly, reducing the chance of sinking into soft soil. And, because of them, the Firestone Performer 70 R-1W can carry up to 9,350 lbs per single tire, depending on the size.
Secondly, the open shoulders keep the rubber cool by allowing the model to release hot air more easily. These open spaces give the heat a way to escape as it rolls, which helps prevent it from getting too hot. By throwing away this hot air, the Firestone Performer 70 R-1W stays cooler, making it last longer and perform better, even during tough work. Equally important, the high void ratio clears out mud, dirt, and debris while driving, so it doesn’t get clogged. This keeps the Firestone Performer 70 R-1W gripping the ground better, especially in wet or muddy conditions. With a high void ratio, the tractor can move more easily over soft soil without losing traction. Finally, the available sizes on the US market start with 24'' and go up to 42'' rim diameter options.
