Firestone Introduces Its Largest Capacity R-4 Backhoe Tire
 Las Vegas, NV (March 13, 2008) – Firestone Agricultural Tire Company (FSAG), a division of Bridgestone Firestone North American Tire, LLC (BFNT) today introduced its largest load capacity R-4 backhoe tire.
The Firestone 21L24 (18 ply) All Traction Utility tire has a load-carrying capacity of 10,500 pounds and will be the original equipment fitment on 2008 CaterpillarTM 450E Backhoe Loaders.
“Compared with our standard 10-ply tire, this new product features more than 41 percent greater load-carrying capacity,” said Tom Rodgers, Marketing Manager for FSAG. “It’s designed for the tough, on- and off-the-road tire requirements of today’s utility tractors where moderate traction, as well as flotation and long wear, is needed.”
Designed specifically for tractor backhoe loaders, the 21L24 (18 ply) All Traction Utility has wide buttressed lugs for durability and long life in construction service. It offers good traction and flotation characteristics. Special rubber compounds help resist tread cutting and tearing to give long tread life under a variety
of working conditions.
