23.1-26 16PR GROUND FORCE R3

The Carlstar Farm Specialist Implement tire series offers various models (I-1, F-1, HF-1, etc.) designed for towed agricultural equipment, each with specific features to provide excellent flotation, durability, and versatility for both field and highway use. The tires come in a range of application-specific tread patterns, such as the I-1 and F-1 multi-rib designs for stability, and the F-3 zig-zag grooved pattern for water channeling and grip in wet conditions. Built with tough rubber compounds and reinforced casings, these tires are designed for heavy-duty conditions and high load capacities, with options up to 14-ply ratings depending on the specific model. The wide tread design helps distribute the equipment's weight evenly, minimizing soil compaction and protecting delicate crops and turf. Many tires in the Farm Specialist line, including the F-1 and I-1, are approved by the U.S. Department of Transportation for intermittent highway use. Most models feature a tubeless design, which offers better heat emission and slower air leaks in case of punctures. The specific tread patterns provide excellent traction on a variety of surfaces (soft, loose, wet soil) and improve lateral stability and steering response. The ability to operate reliably in the field and on the highway allows for efficient transport of equipment like balers, wagons, and seeders between locations. The premium, damage-resistant compounds and robust internal structures contribute to extended tread life and puncture resistance, reducing maintenance and replacement costs. The high flotation design ensures that the tires do not bog down in damp conditions and exert minimal ground pressure, which helps preserve the integrity of the soil and prevent crop damage. The optimized design and low rolling resistance of some models can contribute to reduced fuel consumption during towing.
