The Firestone Duraforce ND is a heavy-duty off-the-road (OTR) bias tire purpose-built for skid steer loaders, aerial lifts, backhoes, and specialty construction equipment. Engineered to perform across the most demanding jobsite conditions — from packed gravel and dirt to mud, snow, and debris-laden work surfaces — the Duraforce ND delivers the traction, protection, and durability that professional contractors and fleet operators depend on.
At the core of the Duraforce ND's design is a non-directional (ND) tread pattern featuring a large flotation rib and lug layout that provides confident, consistent traction in both forward and reverse operation. This is an essential advantage for skid steer and multi-directional equipment where constant pivoting and reversing are standard practice. The tread compound is specially formulated with premium rubber to resist the cuts, chips, and punctures that are routine hazards on active construction sites and industrial work areas.
Key Features:
- Non-directional tread design — delivers equal traction performance in forward and reverse, including in mud and snow conditions
- Large flotation rib/lug design — enhances grip and floatation on soft, uneven, or irregular terrain
- Premium puncture-resistant rubber compound — specially formulated for severe service conditions to extend overall tire life
- Heavy-duty sidewall construction with a large curb rib for improved machine stability and enhanced sidewall protection
- Aggressive rim deflector — shields the rim from jobsite debris and reduces the risk of costly rim damage
- Bias-ply construction — provides superior flotation on challenging terrain and absorbs jobsite impacts effectively
- Not For Highway Service (NHS) — purpose-rated for off-road, construction, and industrial use only
- Backed by Firestone's Construction Tire Warranty for bias tires
Available across a broad range of sizes to accommodate skid steers, aerial lifts, backhoes, and specialty construction machines, the Firestone Duraforce ND is the trusted OTR bias tire choice for contractors, fleet managers, and equipment operators who prioritize uptime and long-term value on every job.
