## Main features

### Traction

#### High level of traction

**Large footprint** to transmit traction to the ground.

- Footprint larger than standard series tyre

###### Comparison of tyre section width for size 710/70 R38

| Series | Pattern | Equivalent size | Section width | GAIN IN SECTION* |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| **Extra Large** | **Maxi Traction** | **710/70 R38** | **731 mm** |   |
| 65 series | Maxi Traction 65 | 650/65 R42 | 625 mm | **+17%** |
| 70 series | Performer Extra 70 | 580/70 R42 | 573 mm | **+27,5%** |
| 85 series | Performer Extra 85 | 520/85 R42 | 561 mm | **+30%** |

**Gain in section width 710/70 R38 vs others series*

**Faster working** due to better traction through larger footprint.

**Dual Angle lug** design to increase traction and limit soil disturbance.

- Firestone’s unique and patented Dual Angle Lug design delivers a greater soil contact area than a standard lug. The Dual Angle Lug, combined with its large surface area, provides strong grip and excellent traction.

### Pressure

#### Working at pressures between 0.6 bar and 2.4 bar. Up to 3.0 bar for field cyclic operations below 10 km/h.

- **Robust casing and improved resistance** thanks to Firestone’s strong and long-lasting casing and wear-resistant compound.

### Soil care

#### Better soil protection

- Long footprint allows a better load distribution on soil, and so reduces compaction.

### Load capacity

#### High capacity

- **On the road:** carrying bigger loads means fewer transport cycles. At same speed and same pressure, you gain up to 30% load capacity versus standard tyres.

###### Load capacity analysis for 710/70 R38 at 1.2 bar at 30 km/h

| Series | Pattern | Equivalent size | Load capacity | GAIN IN LOAD* |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| **Extra Large** | **Maxi Traction** | **710/70 R38** | **5 215 kg** |   |
| 65 series | Maxi Traction 65 | 650/65 R42 | 5 115 kg | **+2%** |
| 70 series | Performer Extra 70 | 580/70 R42 | 4 000 kg | **+30%** |
| 85 series | Performer Extra 85 | 520/85 R42 | 3 880 kg | **+34%** |

**Gain in load capacity 710/70 R38 vs others series*

### Reduction of operating costs

#### Increases productivity through

Maxi Traction tyres contribute to operating costs reduction through:

- **Time savings:** due to better traction.
- **Potential fuel savings** thanks to better traction.
- **Time savings on road:** tyre can carry a heavier loads than a standard series.   
  The advantages? Fewer transport cycles, lower costs.
- **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 drive.
- Reinforced carcass absorb heavy loads.

### Wear

#### High durability even in extreme conditions:

- Robust carcass, reinforced structure increases load capacity.

### Damage resistance

#### Very high resistance

- Reinforced carcass construction for increased strength
- Improved by strong and long-lasting casing and wear-resistant compound.

### Fuel consumption

Contributes to **reduce fuel consumption** due to its large footprint for better traction.

### Return on investment

**Very good**

### Stability

**Optimum stability** even in extreme conditions

 

## Product range

### Construction

**Radial**

### Technology

Standard Radial construction
