Tire options
 

I am making a list of parts I need to look at tires. I currently have the original Firestones. I like the look of but one has a leak and they are dry rotted. So I figure if I am going to replace them, I am looking for options, but also the ag tires I have seen on other tractors have caught my eye.

What model of tractor(s) are you working on..?? :Huh:

Is it me????

Am I jacked up or is a bit hard to read and decipher????

Look at the Carlisle Tru power's, it's a quality tire.

Sorry , its a 127

Depends on what you want to do with the tractor. I like the Tru-Powers, too. But I have turf tires and chains on a couple. That is more effective for snow situations.

I've got 23x10.5-12 Carlisle All-Trail II tires on my 169. I like them because they are easy on the lawn while being more aggressive for other applications. I do have them loaded with a set of wheel weights, and haven't bothered to put my chains on them this year yet for plowing snow. They're great in the garden as well unless it's too wet, but it's hard to beat something like a 23 degree Firestone for looks and playing in the dirt.

I'll agree that the Carlise TruPower are awesome. Just put a set on my 127. I had been running the original 23x10.5x12 with 4 link chains and weighs and constantly spun out throwing snow on a flat driveway when it drifted. It was especially a pain in the butt to load it on the trailer when the chains just spun on the steel ramps. I don't have the concrete driveway anymore to do a side-by-side test comparison, but I haven't been stuck yet and the look is way cooler. I try to always have a trailer around to transport my cub, but sometimes the only way to get it where it needs to go is in the back of my pickup. I feel much safer now with the trupowers vs. the stock tires. I could get it in my pickup bed without getting a running start at the ramp or spinning out half way up.

Just my two cents.

Have you considered ATV tires? They are softer than ags so they dont tear up the turf in the summer. I push a 54" blade with Kenda Bear Claws, no fluid, no chains, just 10lbs air and some extra weights in the winter.

So far everyone is correct with what they say.

I personally like loaded turfs and chains for all round work, it all depends on what you want to do with your tractor.

I don't load or chain tires on tiller tractors.

If your tires aren't too bad, put tubes in them. It really sounds like you just want new tires though.
