Firestone Duraforce AP E-7 OTR Asphalt Paver Tire

The Firestone Duraforce AP is a purpose-engineered OTR (off-the-road) earthmover tire built specifically for the demanding conditions of professional asphalt paving and repaving operations. Classified as an E-7 Ribbed Shallow Depth Flotation specialty equipment tire, the Duraforce AP is rated for soft, sandy, and asphalt service — delivering the heat resistance, tractive reliability, and precise geometry that road construction crews depend on for maximum productivity and long service life.

Key Features:

• E-7 Shallow Tread Classification: The shallow tread profile is purpose-designed to fit the restrictive wheel wells common on asphalt paving equipment, ensuring proper clearance and operational stability on the job
• Notched Rib Tread Pattern: Provides consistent tractive performance on unimproved surfaces — including grass, dirt, and gravel — for reliable grip across varied job site conditions
• Advanced Heat Management: The shallow E-7 tread depth works in tandem with a robust tire compound to help dissipate the intense heat generated by continuous contact with hot asphalt, extending service life in thermally demanding environments
• Optimized Outside Diameter: Engineered to fit within the tight tolerances of restrictive asphalt paver wheel wells while distributing equipment load evenly across the contact patch to minimize surface disruption
• Broad Equipment Compatibility: Suitable for use on asphalt pavers, road rollers, cranes, and other specialty construction machinery operating in paving environments
• Durable Bias Casing Construction: Built to endure repeated abrasion and thermal stress cycles inherent in commercial paving operations, reducing downtime and total cost of ownership

Available in a range of sizes to accommodate a variety of paving machines, the Firestone Duraforce AP is the trusted choice of road construction contractors and specialty equipment operators who demand long-lasting performance under extreme job site conditions. Backed by Firestone's extensive heritage in commercial and OTR tire engineering, the Duraforce AP is a proven, professional-grade solution for the most demanding paving applications.
