A new tyre developed for use in the agricultural market, is now available in Southern Africa.

Firestone recently launched its new, high-performance Maxi Traction Harvest tyre. The new tyre was developed by parent company, Bridgestone, in response to customer needs, says Bridgestone Southern Africa agriculture manager Willie Stander.

“The new Maxi Traction Harvest tyre incorporates a number of design features that raise the bar significantly,” Stander says.

The Maxi Harvest tyre incorporates a patented new Dual Angle Lug design with more overlapping lugs aimed at ensuring strong grip and excellent traction. It is said to boost productivity by allowing farmers to cover more ground faster and more economically. The new design also features increased rubber ratio on the contact surface thanks to flat-contoured crown tread design and enhances driver comfort both on and off the road – especially important during long working hours over busy harvest periods.

The company also asserts that its new tyre offers accurate steering and safe, precise handling in all driving conditions. It further highlights Firestone’s casing design and robust construction, bolstered by its wear- and cut-resistant compound as well as its tyres’ larger contact area.

“This combination of exceptional durability with innovative design is the reason that Firestone has become a trusted partner for farmers across the continent,” concludes Stander.
