Firestone FS821
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- All season traction
- Upgraded load durability
- Longer tread life
OVERVIEW
The Firestone FS821 is a highway terrain, all season tire manufactured for commercial vehicles. This model was created for all axle positions of the vehicle.
The tire promotes exceptional all season traction. The ribbed block placement, with the deeper and wider tread elements, works with the all season compound to significantly upgrade the dry, wet, and winter weather grip. In this manner, the tire manages to boost the surface grip in various weather conditions. The multiple gripping edges provided by the tread ensure its performing power, while the compound keeps the rubber flexible at all times. The zigzag circumferential grooves disperse water and slush from the footprint, avoiding hydroplaning as a result.
Better load durability is provided with this model. The reinforced internal structure features an all-steel casing and special cap/base compounding which helps to maintain the ideal tire shape under the load and driving pressure. As a result, the tire manages to enhance the load-carrying and withstanding ability, boosting the load capacity.
The Firestone FS821 offers a longer tread life. The special stone ejecting platforms resist stone retention, as rocks are eliminated from the footprint. Rocks cannot damage the casing, which optimizes the performing ability. The rugged, four rib tread design and the flat footprint maintain the surface contact, evenly circulating the driving pressure across the tread area. Durable compound elements significantly boost the overall usability by minimizing the tread wear rate as well.
