Firestone Duraforce Utility
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- Extended Service Life
- Mixed Terrain Traction
- Improved Load Durability
OVERVIEW
The Firestone Duraforce Utility is an all season tire manufactured for industrial vehicles. This model is specially designed for construction applications such as wheel loaders.
This model utilizes the aggressive tread design, with the high void ratio, to maintain its forward motion in off-road terrain conditions. The tire can conquer even some of the more challenging soft, loose and uneven terrains, providing better performance. Its self-cleaning properties are working perfectly, even in loose dirt and deep mud, eliminating all obstructive elements from the footprint. Meanwhile the tire keeps the contact consistent with the road surface.
The strong rubber blend slows down tread wear to a significant degree, ensuring a longer service life. The tread pattern is wide and it also distributes the load and driving pressure to three different tread areas. The shoulder blocks and the S-shaped tread elements in the center prevent pressure accumulation. This positively affects tread wear, as it resists irregular wear. The extra-sturdy compound provides damage resistance capabilities. It protects the tire from cuts, chipping, and punctures as well.
The tire is designed with a big load carrying capacity in mind. It promotes a structure that is reinforced with nylon cords, so that it does not deform under the load and driving pressure. Instead, the tire keeps its optimal shape and maintains its most important attributes throughout the industrial operation. It has an outstanding heavy-duty performing ability and its optimized tread design ensures long-lasting usability. The Duraforce Utility boasts a sidewall with reinforced lateral stability to prevent flexing and external damage.
