Firestone 238685 FT491 11R24.5 Commercial Truck Tire G/14 Ply

The Firestone FT491 is a premium commercial truck tire designed for all-position use, with specialized engineering for single- and tandem-axle trailer and dolly applications in long-haul and regional service. This tire delivers exceptional value through its EPA SmartWay verified and CARB-compliant fuel efficiency without sacrificing removal miles, helping fleets achieve a lower cost per mile.

Advanced Wear Protection Technology:

• Patented ULTI-Rib design prevents the onset and spread of irregular wear patterns
• Defense Groove technology combats irregular wear initiation across all main ribs
• Stress relief sipes absorb rib-edge stresses in the footprint to fight irregular wear
• Wide footprint spreads load over a larger area, distributing pressure to promote long, smooth wear

Performance Features:

• Flow-through tread design enhances water evacuation for improved wet traction and grip
• Thirsty cross-rib sipes provide additional water removal capabilities
• Innovative sidewall design reduces overall tire weight while maintaining structural strength
• Wide design accepts a full-size drive cap to help extend casing life
• Durable construction maintains surface contact for improved steering responsiveness and driving stability

This 11R24.5 size tire features a G load range (14-ply rating) for heavy-duty commercial applications. The FT491's ribbed tread pattern evenly distributes driving forces to prevent premature wear, while the stronger compound elements reduce the treadwear rate for extended service life.
