New Firestone Radial
for High Scrub Applications.
The new Firestone radial is called the FS560 PLUS, and features an all-position design, making it ideal for steer axle use, but suitable in any wheel position.
The FS560 PLUS radial has a full 19/32" tread depth for long original tread life, together with a solid shoulder design to help fight the turning and maneuvering scrub forces that short hauls and urban usage inflict on tires.
Multiple cross-rib sipes and wide, deep "flow-through" grooves evacuate water efficiently from the footprint for precise traction, even on rain-slick city streets.
And, the FS560 PLUS offers superb retreadability, resulting from four full steel belts, an all-steel casing ply, and a special, two-layer tread that combines a slow-wearing compound with a layer beneath that helps insulate the casing from damaging heat.
The Firestone FS560 PLUS is available in both standard and low profile sizes, with "G" and "H" load ratings, for 22.5 and 24.5-inch wheels.
