PRESS RELEASE: "The addition of the 14.00R24 tyre rounds out the existing Firestone VersaBuilt All Traction offering and complements the total portfolio of radial off-the-road products with the durability you expect from the Firestone brand," said Tim Netzel, director of marketing, off-the-road (OTR), Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations (BATO).

The VersaBuilt AT line is designed for improved traction with increased tyre life. All sizes feature a heavy-duty all-steel casing and a SideArmor sidewall that deflects stones and debris to help protect against cuts and punctures. Additionally, a self-cleaning tread pattern allows for more traction in soft and muddy surfaces.

Other key features of the Firestone VersaBuilt AT tyre line include:

•             A non-directional pattern to promote even wear over time;

•             A tough, proprietary compound for long wear life and cut-resistance; and

•             An open-shoulder design to provide additional traction.
