Firestone FS561 - An all-position radial tire recommended for steer applications in regional haul service and pickup and delivery service.
Both regional and pickup and delivery truck drivers know the importance of having tough tires built for high-scrub service. The all-position Firestone FS561 is designed for steer applications that navigate these demanding conditions. Features such as a special tread compound and solid shoulder ribs enhance casing protection, extending overall tire life, giving the FS561 staying power in environments where stone drilling and rib tearing are regular occurrences.
Tread cap compound and solid shoulder ribs enhance resistance to maneuvering scrub, leading to increased tread life. Stone rejectors in center grooves help provide resistance to stone drilling and protect belts for enhanced casing durability. Stress relief sipes fight irregular wear by absorbing rib edge stresses in the footprint for long, even wear. Sidewall protector ribs help protect the casing from cuts, snags and abrasions due to curbing and impacts. Innovative sidewall design reduces overall weight to improve fuel efficiency without sacrificing durability.
