Firestone FD711
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- Extended Tread Life
- All Season Traction
- Enhanced Durability
- Improved Controllability
OVERVIEW
The Firestone FD711 is a highway terrain, all season tire created for commercial vehicles. This model is specially designed for the vehicle's drive axle.
The tire comes with a reinforced internal construction that supports it under the load and driving pressure. It ensures that the tire keeps its optimal shape despite the forces it has to hold its structure against. With this enhanced load carrying capacity, the tire can provide the same performance even after extended periods of use. The strong materials significantly extend the tire's service life by slowing down tread wear and preventing irregular wear formations. Due to the flat tread footprint and the staggered blocks, the pressure is uniformly distributed along the tread, resulting in even wear.
The tread is designed with consistent road contact in mind. The tread elements are arranged in a way to improve contact and stability in both on- and off-road conditions. This boost in stability enables the driver to count on fast and precise responses while maneuvering with the vehicle. It also becomes easier for the tire to deal with the forces of breaking, cornering and acceleration. These features ensure that the vehicle is completely safe to control on the road and in a range of off-road conditions as well.
The all season compound maintains the tire's flexibility despite the changing temperatures outside. This way, the tread elements can keep the traction consistent with the road surface. Instead of being too hard or too soft in certain conditions, the tire's flexibility changes only in a narrow range. By adapting to the changing temperatures, the tire always has the stickiness required to get a firm grip of the road surface. The FD711 boasts a self-cleaning tread that eliminates snow, water, and slush from the footprint, keeping it clean for constant traction.
