Another great tire made for harvesters and tractors is the Firestone Radial All Traction DT. Its R1W tread depth is 25% deeper in the center compared with the standard R1 tread. It offers improved performance, as it can grip the ground better.
Firstly, the directional tread design helps the Firestone Radial All Traction DT roll more effectively through mud, soft soil, or uneven terrain. This is particularly important for tractors and harvesters who work in fields where grip is crucial. Also, the bead and rim protector keep unwanted debris out and reduce downtime. Then, the high void ratio throws away ground parts from the patch. It has an important role in improving safety, as it reduces the risk of sliding. So, the Firestone Radial All Traction DT is safer when going through tricky grounds. Speaking of safety, the resistant rubber compound offers enough protection from any type of puncture. This way there is a reduced risk of having a flat tire, so you can work longer.
Secondly, the strong sidewalls are capable of withstanding up to 16,500 lbs per single tire, depending on the size. They protect the side parts from scrubbing too. As for the open shoulders, their role is to distribute the weight of the tractor or harvester more evenly, preventing excessive pressure on the soil. This reduces soil compaction, which is important for maintaining healthy soil structure, promoting better plant growth, and avoiding damage to the fields. And, the tubeless build makes sure that the Firestone Radial All Traction DT is attached securely to the rim. Finally, the available sizes on the US market start with 24'' and go up to 42'' rim diameter options.
