TMDESTINATION FARM RADIALIMPLEMENT TIRES WITHAD2 TECHNOLOGY:TMDESIGNED, ENGINEERED AND BUILTFOR TODAY’S AGRICULTURE.Firestone Destination Farm radial implement tireswith Advanced Deflection Design (AD2) technologyare designed to deliver a new level of performancein the operation and transportation of heavyfarm equipment.Available in IF or VF designations, these tires areengineered to carry a given load at lower inflationpressures than conventional bias- or radial-plyimplement tires. They also feature a soil-friendlytread design and a wider tread arc for greatercontact area.*Firestone Destination Farm radial implement tireswith AD2 technology are specifically designedfor the high-load demands of today’s agriculturalequipment – tires that run on lower pressure, on awider track and distribute the weight over a largersurface area to help reduce soil compaction.*Compared to standard equivalent-sized Firestone bias and radial tires.2Firestone Destination Farm Radial Implement Tires3

TMSPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FORHEAVY FARM EQUIPMENT.Considering the increasing size and weight oftoday’s field implements – especially when loadedwith the additional weight of herbicides, fertilizerand/or seed – soil compaction can actually be abigger problem than the compaction from thetractor that pulls this equipment.Producers who understand the costs of compactionfrom tractor tires are learning that implement tirescause yield-robbing compaction problems, too.Until now, the default tire for most heavy farmequipment has been to use those built for trucks orbuses. Firestone Destination Farm radial implementtires are specifically designed for the needs anddemands of agriculture.TEKSCAN FOOTPRINT COMPARISONSSTANDARD BIAS11L-15FI Highway Special, LR F3960 lbs. @ 90 psiIF280/70R15 Destination Farm, 128D3960 lbs. @ 52 psiBoth IF and VF Destination Farm tires can carry givenloads at a lower pressure than standard equivalent-sizedbias and radial tires.

For the best performance possible, select the properdesign, size and ply-rated tires for your equipment and operate the tires atthe inflation pressure required to carry the working load. Detailed load andinflation tables are included in the Firestone Farm Tire Data Book and atFirestoneAg.com.PROPER TIRE SIZESTire sizes and ratings are dictated by vehicle geometry, weight and power.Before changing tire sizes, be sure to check with the equipment manufactureror dealer. Tire measurements and load-carrying capacities for all Firestoneagricultural tires are shown in the Firestone Farm Tire Data Book and atFirestoneAg.com. These measurements are especially important whenmatching front and rear sizes.Have a technical question?
