After production, the tire undergoes thorough visual and electronic control, excluding the possibility of defective products reaching the consumer.

Directional Tread Pattern

When creating the tread design of the Firestone Firehawk Wide Oval Indy 500, specialists tried to take into account all the nuances of tire operation, using computer modeling for this purpose. Among the many different pattern options, the most optimal one was chosen. Two rows of central blocks provide excellent directional stability and quick response. The arrow-shaped grooves in the central zone of the tread ensure instant water evacuation from the contact zone, minimizing the occurrence of aquaplaning. Due to this, the tire has increased traction when driving on wet road surfaces. Three wide channels and a large number of small cuts, in addition to quick self-cleaning, contributed to a reduction in noise, which increased driving comfort. The reinforced shoulder area increases stability when cornering and protects the tire from potential damage.

UNI-T Technology

The tire was created using the unique UNI-T technology and RunFlat. As a result, the level of safety has increased, so the driver can drive at a speed of 80 km/h for up to 80 kilometers even when the tire is punctured.

Reinforced Casing

To increase safety and protect against potential damage, a special cord was used when creating the casing. Due to this, the resulting casing has maximum protection against potential damage and ruptures that occur when driving at high speeds.
