Ag Tire Preferences

[zippy1]

I remember father would buy a new pair for the 66 Impala every winter. But they were studded. Run them through winter, then pull the studs when the snow was gone, run them through summer, and repete.

Todd,

My dad used to run these exact tires on a 66 CJ5 he had when I was a kid.. I remember the day he got them mounted at the Firestone dealer... but we didn't have much use for studs down here!

I purchased a set of these for my Cub 126:

They were much cheaper than the Tru Powers, and did just as well in a recent tractor pull. I use them on my property for ground work and snow removal. I've also taken them on trail rides, and as mentioned used them in tractor pulls. I loaded them with washer fluid.

Highly recommended.

Never mind Dad.... I remember buying those Firestones for my own cars, most everyone had two sets of tires back then, summer and winter. Now they've re-named them HDAP and they're the latest greatest thing on the GT marketplace. LOL

Everything old is new again!



I just like the old school look and I bet that they work well (being tall and narrow... like tractor tires!)

I may have to break down and buy a set from Miller if the new/old 123 contines to run well

I had two sets of tires for my first car (a 1966 Plymouth Valiant, slant six), put the snow tires on each fall.

As for which Ag tires are preferred, which was the OP's original post, I like the Tru Powers I've been putting on some of my tractors. When I don't feel like spending that much money, or for front ags, I've bought Deestones, but they seem smaller size for size, than the Tru Powers.

Tru Powers on my 1000...

Every farmer in the 'snowzone' has many tales of being stuck in the winter with his 'Tractor' tires.... honestly... they dont work well. Farmers have struggled with weight and chains for a hundred+ years, we dont like it but there isnt alot of options for a 38" rim.

Do you know what the lug depth was on those when they were new?
