GENERAL INFO SIZE MARKINGS SPEED SYMBOLS - LOAD INDEXES Front Tyre Marking Radial (Standard) Tyre Marking The speed symbol indicates the speed at which the tyre can carry a load corresponding to its load index under service conditions specified by the tyre manufacturer. Speed symbols dash denotes crossply construction section width in inches rim diameter in inches “R” denotes radial construction section width in inches Implement Tyre Marking Radial (Metric) Tyre Marking (special rim diameter used in Europe) 520/70R38 dash denotes crossply construction radial construction approximate aspect...

GENERAL INFO size series series series series series This table of inter-changeability for equivalent sizes is based upon ETRTO Speed Radius Index (SRI) and is for guidance only. For any change of tyre size it is important to calculate & check the lead/lag percentage and to ensure sufficient height/width clearance of tyre/vehicle combination. Sizes in bold text are available from the Firestone Europe range of Agricultural tyres. This table does not include Agro Industrial nor Firestone America Products.

CUSTOMER BENEFITS Firestone creates tyres with the ideal balance of performance and productivity. Superior Long life engineering and refined designs result in improved traction, low soil-compaction, higher Optimised compounds and a unique tyre-construction in function of the task to be performed make Firestone tyres extremely durable so they last longer. Flatter and wider threads in combination with an optimised lug design lead to even pressure distribution on the road, resulting in a uniform wear and extended tyre-life. Firestone products keep on performing, even when half-worn out. load...

FIRESTONE TYRE PRESSURE APP Reduce soil compaction and save money by using the correct inflation pressure in your tyres, The Firestone tyre pressure app helps you to find the specific inflation pressure for your tractors’ application, ensuring you get the best wear life, fuel consumption whilst increasing traction in the field.

Add the tyre to your favourites for easy access next time. 3. Select your preferred measurement...

CHARACTERISTICS BY TYRE-PATTERN TRACTOR • For high horsepower tractors. • Upgraded load- and speed indexes. • Excellent traction, self-cleaning and driving comfort. • Long tyre life and uniform tread wear. MAXI TRACTION 65 • For medium and large horsepower tractors. • Longer tyre life, thanks to new lug design. • Excellent traction, thanks to patented Dual Angle Lug Design. • Increased driver comfort, thanks to its longer and overlapping lug*. MAXI TRACTION IF • For high horsepower tractors. • Improved Flexion (IF): reduced soil-compaction and more working efficiency. • Transport heavier...

TRACTOR MAXI TRACTION (*): Cyclic Application (see note) Note: * Cyclic tyre bonus loads are permitted for traction wheels in cyclic loading operations involving minimal torque and wide fluctuation in weight carried. * Vehicles must be unloaded before transport outside the field. * Maximum load may not be carried for more than 1.5 km before unloading operation begins. Where W rims are shown, DW rims with equivalent flanges are permitted. * Maximum load per tyre includes all possible field and vehicle/usage variations. * For hillside operations over 11° (20%) slope, no cyclic bonus load...

TRACTOR MAXI TRACTION IF Where W rims are shown, DW rims with equivalent flanges are permitted

Where W rims are shown, DW rims with equivalent flanges are permitted. Above loads and pressures are for low torque applications. For ploughing and other sustained high-torque field applications only the load values corresponding to 30 km/h should be used.
