New Firestone Maxi Traction 65

Firestone has launched its Maxi Traction 65 tractor tyre, engineered with 11 per cent deeper lugs than its predecessor – for a longer lasting tyre life while delivering high-level performance throughout its entire life cycle. 

New Maxi Traction 65 also has wider lugs and wider tyre width, providing a larger groundcontact area which extends its tyre life further. This economy is carried onto the road where the tyre’s longer lugs, with larger lug overlap, increase wear resistance on hard surfaces. 

Lothar Schmitt, Director Agricultural and Off-the-Road tyres, Bridgestone Europe says: “This new Firestone tread design with deeper, wider and longer lugs extends Maxi Traction 65 tyre life and reliability significantly, giving agricultural operators a lower cost per hour”. 

Patented lug design provides strong traction 
The longer life of the Maxi Traction 65 comes with no compromise in traction. Thanks to Firestone’s unique patented Dual Angle Lug Design, Maxi Traction 65 provides reliable, steady performance boosting traction by at least 4 per cent compared to standard agricultural tyres. Combined with the extra-long lug, larger contact patch and efficient self-cleaning, Maxi Traction 65 allows operators to cover more ground faster and more economically. 

At the same time, the longer overlapping lug design gives the operator greater ride comfort on the road – an important extra benefit for operators of today’s high-speed heavy tractors that cover more distance between field sites.
