I need a tire that performs under working conditions, and that’s what Firestone makes. Would you rather have a mud tire or one that makes you money in working conditions? Firestone tires are going to give you that low percentage of slip. With the advent of higher horsepower tractors and larger engines than we’ve ever seen, it’s more critical than ever to hook that horsepower to the ground. If you’re slipping, all that horsepower does you no good.

Less slip also has an impact on your fuel economy. Another advantage is longer wear - if they don’t slip, they last longer. Firestone has really shown us durability. We’ve tried others that just fall apart under low inflation pressures. Whether you’re talking about low inflation pressures on tractors with drawbar pull, or low inflation pressures on combine tires that need to float across the ground, the reliability is definitely there. And if there’s a problem, whether right out of the box or two years down the road, Firestone knows what to do for company support and dealer support.
