Firestone FT492

With such a wide footprint, the tire also promotes better driving stability throughout the drive. This allows the driver to count on faster and more precise responses when steering the vehicle. The tread comes with an outstanding sipe placement to maximize road contact and improve grip on the asphalt. The upgraded maneuverability ensures a safe driving experience on the highway.

Despite the angled siping, the tread is still rather smooth. This means that the tire requires less towing to reach the same speed. The combination of the tire structure and the sturdy compound guarantees that the tire keeps its optimal shape at all times. All these features lower the vehicle's fuel consumption. This makes it an eco-friendly option that also reduces CO2 emissions.

The rubber maintains its flexibility whether it's steaming hot or freezing cold outside. Its compound materials excel throughout the year, holding a firm and consistent grip on the driving surface. The robust shoulder ribs are elevated to better establish contact with the road. This way, the tire can absolutely excel on dry, wet, and snow-covered roads as well. The four grooves on the FT492 eliminate water, snow, and slush from the footprint, keeping it clean and avoiding hydroplaning.
