The Firestone FT492 is a tire designed for commercial vehicles, specifically for the trailer axle. It enhances overall control and stability due to its wide and detailed ribs. With a wide footprint, it provides better steering responses and improved driving stability. The tire's tread design maximizes road contact and grip on the pavement, ensuring a safe highway driving experience. Additionally, the tire's rolling resistance is reduced, resulting in less towing effort required to reach the same speed. This, combined with its sturdy structure and compound, contributes to lower fuel consumption and reduced CO2 emissions. The tire's special rubber blend ensures year-round traction as it remains flexible in hot and cold weather conditions. Its materials maintain a strong and consistent grip on various driving surfaces, including dry, wet, and snow-covered roads. The elevated shoulder ribs establish better contact with the road, allowing the tire to excel in different weather conditions. Furthermore, the four grooves on the FT492 eliminate water, snow, and slush from the tire's footprint, preventing hydroplaning.
