NASHVILLE, Tenn. (August 12, 2024)Firestone Ag, a division of Bridgestone Americas (Bridgestone), introduces the high-performing Destination Cart radial tire, providing a heavy-duty grain cart tire designed to support soil health and fluctuating cart weights.

“Specifically designed with soil health in mind, Destination Cart features a shallow skid depth and wide lug spacing that creates a flotation effect across the soil,” said Bill Durivage, senior agricultural product strategy manager, Firestone Ag. “The wide footprint minimizes soil compaction, and the shallower, wider-spaced lugs create less soil disturbance as the grain cart carries heavy loads during harvest season.”  

The tread design also promotes uniform wear, a smooth ride and self-cleaning to maintain traction in wet, slippery field conditions.

Constructed with Advanced Deflection Design (AD2) technology, Destination Cart enables producers to carry heavier loads at lower inflation pressures—another feature that optimizes the larger footprint and helps minimize soil compaction. A premium formulation of tire compounds helps protect the tires against stubble damage. Additionally, the tires are backed by Firestone Ag’s nine-year radial tire limited warranty.  

“The ideal grain cart tire for harvest, Destination Cart is engineered for the extreme load cycles typical for harvest season,” said President Tony Orlando. “It complements our existing tire line-up with one of the most common sizes for today’s carts.”

Destination Cart is available now and will be displayed in the Firestone Ag booth at Farm Progress Show 2024. Visit us in Boone, IA for another product announcement and connect with your local Firestone Ag dealer for all product information.
