An incredible tire for the free rolling axles of farm implements and tractors is the Firestone Rib Implement I-1. This one delivers low rolling resistance, backed up with amazing power so you can work efficiently.
Firstly, the five rib design spreads the weight of the machine more evenly, giving better stability and control when working on fields. The ribs provide good traction while also helping the Firestone Rib Implement I-1 roll smoothly on hard surfaces like roads, which makes the equipment easier to handle and reduces wear on the tire. Then, the specialized rubber compound makes the rubber stronger and more durable. This type of rubber is made to handle tough conditions, like rough fields, heavy loads, or long hours of use, without wearing down quickly. It ensures that the Firestone Rib implement I-1 resists cuts, cracks, or damage from things like rocks, sharp objects, or chemicals found in the soil.
Secondly, the optimized build doesn’t heat up as much during use, which helps prevent overheating, especially during long work hours or heavy loads. The tubeless variant of the tire is lighter and can give better traction and handling. Equally important, the strong sidewalls withstand up to 5,200 lbs per single tire, depending on the size. They also protect the sides from scrubbing. And, the circumferential grooves reduce the risk of sliding by throwing away debris. This is very important, as farming grounds often have many obstacles in the way. Finally, the available sizes on the US market come in a 24'' rim diameter option.
