Maxi Traction

Main features

Traction

High level of traction

Large footprint to transmit traction to the ground.

• Footprint larger than standard series tyre

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.

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
