When you're out working in the field, nothing's more important
than good traction That's why so many farmers make Firestone
farm tires their first choice Firestone tires feature the proven
long bar/long bar tread design that digs in and pulls you
through in all kinds of field conditions In fact Firestone is the
only company that features the long bar/long bar tread design
on all its radial and bias rear traction tires For hard-working
farm tires, go with the leader Firestone
