Firestone Dirt Track Grooved

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• Summer weather performance
• High speed durability
• Enhanced controllability

OVERVIEW

The Firestone Dirt Track Grooved is a high performance, summer tire made for vintage racing cars. The tire is designed to be mounted on the vehicle's rear axle positions.

Summer weather traction is ensured with this model. The summer compound and the ideal tread design increase the dry and wet grip on the road. The compound actively avoids heat build-up along the tread area, while the tread elements increase the grip with additional biting edges. The optimized grooves prevent hydroplaning, by channeling water from the footprint. This combination ensures the tire’s safe summer-weather performance, boosting warm temperature driving safety.

The maintained surface contact allows the tire to upgrade its controllability. The tread design’s symmetric tread design improves surface contact. These tread elements increase driving stability while also increasing the tire's maneuvering ability. This promotes better structural stability. Moreover, cornering and braking are also effectively enhanced. These elements enable the tire’s overall driving safety levels.

The Firestone Dirt Track Grooved provides excellent high speed durability. The tire’s high speed driving durability is promoted with the durable compound and the stronger construction. They work together to combat heat accumulation across the footprint and to keep the ideal tire shape at all times. This results in excellent high speed durability, enabling the tire’s safer high speed applications.

This specific tire model features a BIASED ply construction.

There might be discrepancies of sizes between brands and models of tires which have this size formatting. As the manufacturers only provide the tire width and the rim diameter with these tires, various brands and models will have size differences. In order to ensure the correct size is purchased, the overall tire diameter that is needed should be checked.

The Overall Diameter or O.D. advertised represents the tire's overall diameter in inches, once the tire has been properly inflated and mounted per the manufacturer's recommendation. This advertised number is provided to Priority Tire by the tire manufacturer.

Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
