Maxi Traction 65

Main features

Traction

High level of traction

Large footprint to transmit traction to the ground.

• Footprint larger than standard tyres

Series	Pattern	Equivalent size	Section width	GAIN IN SECTION*
65 series	Maxi traction 65	650/65 R38	636 mm
70 series	Performer Extra 70	580/70 R38	576 mm	+10%

*Gain in section width 650/65 R38 vs others series

Faster working due to better traction through larger footprint and longer, deeper and wider lugs.

• Compared to its predecessor, Firestone’s MAXI TRACTION 65 is engineered to last longer, while delivering excellent performance throughout its entire life. This is due to its 11% deeper, 9% wider, 24% longer lugs, its wider section and increased lug overlaps.

Dual Angle lug design to increase traction and limit soil disturbance

• Firestone’s unique and patented Dual Angle Lug design has a greater contact area than a standard lug. The patented Dual Angle Lug design combined with its large surface area gives excellent traction.

Pressure

Working at pressure between 0.6 bar and 1.6 bar, with a load bonus at 10 km/h and at 2.0 bar.

• For 3 Extra Load sizes: working pressure is between 0.6 bar and 2.4 bar.
• Robust casing and improved resistance thanks to Firestone’s strong and long-lasting casing and the wear-resistant compound.

Soil care

Good soil protection

• Large footprint ensures a better load distribution on soil, reducing compaction.

Load capacity

High capacity

• On the road: carrying bigger loads means fewer transport cycles. At same speed and same pressure, you gain load capacity versus standard series.

*Gain in load capacity 650/65 R38 vs others series

• 3 Extra Load sizes: a selected range of tyre sizes has been developed to fulfill the high load requirements of special farming applications like front-loader applications. It allows an extra load capacity at higher pressure.

Reduction of operating costs

Increases productivity through

Maxi Traction 65 tyres contribute to operating costs reduction through:

• Time saving: due to better traction.
• Potential fuel savings thanks to better traction.
• Longer, deeper and wider lugs compared to its predecessor, Firestone’s MAXI TRACTION 65 is engineered to last longer, while delivering excellent performance throughout its entire life cycle. It does so thanks largely to its 11% deeper, 9% wider, 24% longer lugs, its wider tyre section and increased lug overlaps.
• Strong and long-lasting casing and wear-resistant compound, combined with MAXI TRACTION lug design result in outstanding tyre life.

Self-cleaning

Improved tread design with asymmetric lugs.

Driving comfort and safety

Very good road behaviour and ride comfort

• Long, overlapping lugs ensure a smoother ride.
• Reinforced carcass absorbs heavy loads.

Wear

High durability even in extreme conditions:

• Robust carcass, reinforced structure increases load capacity.

Damage resistance

High resistance thanks to strong and long-lasting carcass

Fuel consumption

Contributes to lower fuel consumption due to its much larger footprint which provides better traction.

Return on investment

Very good

Stability

Very good stability even in extreme conditions
