Firestone Adds to Ultra-Deep Drive Radial Lineup

In the USA, Bridgestone Bandag Tire Solutions (BBTS) is adding two sizes to its lineup of new Firestone FD690 PLUS deep drive axle radial tires: 225/70R19.5 and 245/70R19.5.

The FD690 PLUS features a continuous shoulder design specifically engineered to combat irregular wear, an aggressive block/lug design to cut through water and road films and linked center lugs to add stability against tread squirm and to fight heel and toe wear, according to the company. The tyres are available from a Firestone commercial tyre dealer or truckstop. (Tire Review/Akron)
