Planting season is approaching, and now is the time to make sure everything is on the up and up.
Tire expert Bill Durivage with Firestone Ag says it goes back to the basics when it comes to maximizing tire life:
“The main thing is maintaining proper inflation pressure. Having the correct inflation pressure helps them maintain traction in the field but also protects their durability and prevents irregular tire wear they experience on the road. Just having regular tire pressure checks and maintenance. Do a quick 15-minute check to ensure your tires are in good shape and you avoid any kind of downtime in the field. We also have a seven-step checklist on our Firestone Ag website. Prepare your equipment before going into the field. When in doubt, you can always contact your locally-certified Firestone Ag tire dealer, get with our Firestone field engineering team, or visit our website at FirestoneAg.com for more information.”

Cold weather can have a big impact on tire pressure. Always keep them topped off because the tire’s structure can change in colder conditions.
