The Firestone Forestry Special with CRC LS-2 is a heavy-duty agricultural bias-ply logging and forestry tire engineered to meet the rigorous demands of professional timber harvesting operations. Rated to the recognized LS-2 logging service standard, this tire line is purpose-built to handle the performance requirements of high-horsepower forestry machines and heavy load capacities—delivering the cut resistance, durability, and operational uptime that professional operators depend on.
Cut Resistant Compound (CRC) Technology
The performance foundation of the Forestry Special is Firestone's proprietary Cut Resistant Compound (CRC)—an advanced rubber formulation engineered to resist the cuts, snags, punctures, and tears caused by sharp stumps, roots, slash debris, and rocky underbrush common to timber harvesting environments. CRC technology helps maximize tire service life and minimize costly field downtime.
Key Features:
- Proven 23° Tread Bar Design: Aggressive angled tread bars grip the soil to deliver reliable traction in tough forestry conditions, while tread depth is significantly deeper and thicker compared to Firestone Field and Road tires for extended service life
- Cut, Snag & Tear Protection: CRC technology and an aggressive tread profile work together to defend against the sharp debris inherent to logging environments, protecting against premature tire failure
- Open, Self-Cleaning Tread Pattern: Open tread configuration resists packing and helps shed sticks, bark, and forest debris during operation, maintaining consistent traction
- Heavy-Duty Bead & Rim Protector: Reinforced bead construction guards against impact damage and rim flange wear from rocks and embedded debris, contributing to longer tire life
- LS-2 Forestry Rating: Meets recognized industry standards for logging service applications, ensuring suitability across a broad range of professional forestry machinery platforms
- Bias-Ply Construction: Delivers excellent sidewall flexibility, strong load-carrying capacity, and rugged stability across demanding off-road terrain
- Forestry Tire Warranty: Backed by Firestone's manufacturer warranty coverage designed specifically for the unique conditions of logging and forestry use
Purpose-built for skidders, feller bunchers, forwarders, log loaders, and other heavy forestry equipment, the Firestone Forestry Special with CRC LS-2 is available in a range of sizes to fit the most common forestry machinery platforms. This tire line reflects Firestone's long-standing commitment to agricultural and forestry tire innovation—providing reliable performance where cut resistance, durability, and maximum uptime are mission-critical.
