Tyre offers a good, fast trip
A HIGH Speed tractor tyre is now available from Firestone which, claims the company, combines a refined on-road ride with the field performance of the existing Radial 9000 65 series range.
The new Radial 9000 High Speed will be initially produced in the 540/65 R30 size which, with its D-rating, can be operated at speeds of up to 40mph with 50t trailer loads.
Assembly of the tyre is performed on a single-station machine which is designed to ensure even distribution of mass and stiffness to give a consistent roundness.
For high speed work, tyre induced vibration is minimised by both the tread design and body ply formation and road noise is reduced through modifying the multi-angle asymmetric tread used by the R 9000 series tyres. *
