New Firestone FS818 tire enables higher payloads in severe-service conditions

June 20, 2017

Bridgestone Americas Inc launched its new FS818 wide-base radial truck tire for on-and-off-highway applications. Designed for all position use, the Firestone FS818 tire is a dependable, durable option for fleets looking for long-lasting performance in severe service environments.

Featuring a wide-base design for higher payloads and outstanding flotation, the Firestone FS818 utilizes special tread compounds to help resist cuts, chips, tearing, and irregular wear. The tire is designed with a deep, self-cleaning tread pattern for aggressive traction and long original mileage. In addition, stone rejector platforms in every groove offer strong durability.

“We recognized a need for a durable, hardworking tire that is versatile enough to perform in on-and-off-highway environments,” said Sanjay Nayakwadi, director of product strategy, Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations. “The Firestone FS818 tire does just that, enabling fleets to haul higher payloads and tackle challenging service environments.”

Key features of the Firestone FS818 tire include:

• Block sipes to slice through water and provide solid grip on wet roads;

• Four steel belts to extend casing life while providing protection from cuts and punctures;

• Sidewall protector ribs to fight against cuts, snags and abrasions; and

• Block design and edges optimized for the performance required in on/off highway environments.

The Firestone FS818 tire is available in the following sizes: 385/65R22.5, 425/65R22.5 and 445/65R22.5. It is backed by the Firestone 90-day Buy and Try Guarantee, as part of the brand’s promise to deliver durable, dependable tires that get the job done.
