firsestone tires..... diference?

[out west puller]

Is there a diference between 151's and field and road 23 degrees?

To my knowledge all 151's were field and roads and 23 degree. I don't think they made a 45 degree F&R. They made an old 151 that was gum dipped too.

the 151's were the HD Tires and Firestone does not make any field in roads in 15.5-38 anymore...I have a pair for sale with about 20 pulls if anyone is interested.

they made a 45 degree tire in the 60's called Huskie I have a set of 14's which are equal to 16.9 x 38

The following is a quote from Mike Alyward from a month or two ago on this forum, an excellant discription of the different older Firestone tires.

"Field and Road: a lightweight, smaller diameter tire that was used as a replacement tire.

Heavy Duty Field and Road: this tire is a surprise. It was sold as a little heavier tire than the Field and Road but all the ones I have weighed are lighter than the regular Field and Road tire. However, the tread width is slightly wider and the sidewalls are a little taller which gives a flatter tread profile. But this comes at the cost of a thinner, more flexible carcass.


All Traction Field and Road: This tire was the original equimpment tire for many manufacturers. This is the tire that has become known as the "F151" tire because this number is prominently displayed under the tire size near the bead. This "F151" is not the tire designation. The All Traction Field and Road is.


Deep Tread: This tire was sold as a premium replacement tire. It is the heaviest, widest tire of this group. The bars are wider for a given size, the bars are thicker and the carcass is also thicker. A 6-ply DT is often as heavy or heavier than most 8-ply tires. They are an excellent tire for pulling but are extremely heavy for their size. A nearly bald DT tire can be made into a very nice cut pulling tire. They often can weigh 50+ lbs. more per tire than other sizes.

Traction Field and Road: A later tire that looks exactly like the All Traction Field and Road (and looks to be made from the same mold) but has the "All" blanked out by a tire tread logo. This tire also has the "F151" moniker as does the ATFR. However, this tire is made of softer and thinner material than the older ATFR. It can be made to work ok but because it is softer and thinner it needs more air to work as well. They are ok if that is what you have but there are better tires out there.
Hopefully this will give you some idea of what is out there."

Hope this helps out. Mike N Mo
