Soil compaction can have many negative effects on your crops. Reduced aeration, resistance to root penetration, poor internal drainage and more can all occur – and that’s why choosing a tire that reduces soil compaction is so important.
We’re here to help you with tires designed to help you decrease soil compaction with your existing equipment.
No matter what tires you’re driving on, operating them with the right inflation pressure is critical. Improper inflation increases fuel consumption and leaves the tire more susceptible to damage and wear. It can also drastically impact on the overall footprint, leading to increased compaction. We’ve made it easy to find the recommended inflation pressure for your Firestone tires.
Tires with IF technology can carry 20% more weight than standard radial tires at the same inflation pressure. When axle loads do not increase, the inflation pressure can be reduced around 20%* compared to standard radial tires.
Tires with VF technology can carry 40% more weight than standard radial tires at the same inflation pressure. When axle loads do not increase, the inflation pressure can be reduced around 40%* compared to standard radial tires.
Carry the same load at lower pressures with Firestone Advanced Deflection Design (AD²) technology.
