Firestone Flotation 23

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• Improved Off-Road Traction
• High Flotation Ability
• Improved Controllability

OVERVIEW

The Firestone Flotation 23 is an all season tire created for agricultural tractors.

This model comes with a directional tread pattern and is densely packed with angled lugs. The lugs cover the entire tread width and are slightly elevated towards the shoulders. This ensures that the tread can get a firm grip in a wide range of off-road conditions. Its high void ratio is also a huge advantage when it comes to soft and loose traction. The driver does not need to worry about the tire maintaining its forward motion, as it conquers all terrains.

The tread is also optimized for soft traction, guaranteeing a field friendly performance. Since it evenly distributes the load and driving pressure across the tread, it goes easy on the soil. The tire prevents pressure accumulation, leaving the soil intact on the fields. By easing pressure off the driving surface, it protects the soil quality instead of loosening it up. What the tire does is it retains the soil’s ability to grow healthy crops by not applying excess pressure.

The tire makes it easier to control the vehicle, thanks to its wide tread that is densely packed with biting edges. The high void ratio and the directional tread design also play a huge role in enhancing the tire’s driving stability. Since it has excellent contact with the road surface, it seamlessly follows the driver’s commands. The tire responds to steering in a timely and precise manner throughout the agricultural operation. The Flotation 23 has its structure secured to the driving pressure affecting it, boosting controllability in mixed terrain conditions.
