Firestone FS561 215/75R17.5, All Season, Highway tires.

Features and Benefits: All weather traction; Fuel efficient performance; Durable damage resistance; Longer lasting usability; Firestone FS561 TiresThe Firestone FS561 is a highway terrain, all season tire made for the steer axle of commercial vehicles. The tire utilizes the all season compound and the ribbed tread design to boost the dry, wet, and winter weather traction. The durable compound elements improve the rubber flexibility in versatile temperatures, while the tread design firmly grips the road surface throughout the year. The tread design's circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from the footprint, further increasing the wet weather driving safety levels. The stronger all weather traction allows the tire to ease the pressure off the footprint. In this manner, the tire prevents heat build-up which greatly lowers the rolling resistance. The rolling resistance is the pressure affecting the tire which determines the vehicle's needed fuel intake levels, in order to keep the tires in motion. By minimizing the rolling resistance, the tire is able to decrease the vehicle's fuel intake and CO2 emissions, resulting in a fuel conscious and environmentally friendly driving experience. The tire greatly improves the load durability and damage resistance. The reinforced sidewall and tread structure maintain the ideal tire shape under the load and driving pressure. This significantly upgrades the load capacity throughout the tire's performance. The durable compound and the tread's self-cleaning nature avoid damage to the tread and casing. The compound combats the tread's chipping, cracking, and tearing, while the tread eliminates rocks from the footprint to resist stone resistance. This promotes a safer performing ability. The Firestone FS561 enhances the length of the tread life. The tread design's symmetric ribbed pattern guarantees even pressure distribution across the tread area. The equally spread out forces of acceleration, cornering, and braking prevents premature and irregular wear formations. This results in the tire's elongated service life and usability. Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
