Firestone Champion Spade Grip R-2 Agricultural Rear Tractor Drive Tire

The Firestone Champion Spade Grip R-2 is a premium bias-ply agricultural rear tractor drive tire purpose-engineered for the most demanding wet and muddy field conditions. Carrying the R-2 extra-deep tread designation, this tire is a proven choice for specialty crop operations — including rice paddies and sugar cane fields — delivering deep-mud traction, aggressive self-cleaning action, and the long-term durability that serious farming operations depend on season after season.

Tread Design & Traction:

• Extra-deep 45° tread pattern provides a powerful bite and superior traction in soupy mud, standing water, and saturated soil conditions
• Curved tread bars promote aggressive self-cleaning, continuously expelling mud from between the lugs to maintain consistent grip throughout operation
• Buttressed tie bars reinforce tread bar structure for improved wear resistance and sustained performance under load
• Bolstered tread bar nose distributes stress evenly across the working surface to extend overall tread life

Dual-Compound Rubber Construction:

• Flexible sidewall compound resists weather cracking, checking, and ozone degradation — essential for equipment that may sit idle between harvest seasons
• Super-tough tread compound maximizes wear resistance and service life on the ground-contact surface
• Bias-ply construction delivers proven durability and dependability across a wide range of wet and muddy agricultural field conditions

The Champion Spade Grip R-2 line is available in a wide range of sizes to suit various rear-drive tractor configurations. Every tire is backed by the Firestone Agricultural Tire Warranty, providing the confidence and long-term reliability that working farms require.
