\nFirestone enjoys a well-established position in the European truck tyre market as a reliable brand offering value for money. Building on this strength, the new\u00a0 line-up is manufactured with the latest technology \u2013 including advanced tread-pattern, groove and casing techniques \u2013 to offer truck operators good all-round performance and a long service life at low cost.<\/p>\n
\nThis new steer tyre provides excellent wet and dry manoeuvrability and high resistance against irregular wear. Thanks to the innovative groove fence design, the tread pattern suppresses noise and gives good driving comfort.<\/p>\n
\nThe unidirectional pattern disperses water quicker from the centre of the tyre, improving the level of wet-weather handling and braking. FD622 is also suitable for use on mud and fresh or melting snow (M+S marked) and in winter conditions (marked with the Alpine symbol).<\/p>\n
\nThe trailer tyre is designed for a long service life and provides good handling in wet conditions and excellent resistance against irregular wear.<\/p>\n
