NWMO | We have Fintsones, Goodyears, Mitas, Michelins, and BKTs on several units...
Flintones 23s ride just as name discribes... They are rough even at low psi so very stiff sidewalls...And can crack...Guys that don't mind them riding like rocks will get along fine...
Firesone Metrics are much improved...
Goodyears catch a lot of slack but are close to Michelins in ride and longevity...They both can crack long term, but ride ok...
BKTs I have no complaints with pretty solid all around...Solid tire all around...Middle ground between GY & Mich and Mitas...
Mitas our my personal favorite and yes sidewalls seem soft but have not had a problem with them cracking...
They ride well but can require more psi without giving up ride... Have them on 8R weighted down for 3PT tile-plow and have pulled front duals/full rack off the ground in tight clay... Rears aired up 30+psi and will mash them almost to rim... No damage and they just pull... normal running at around 20-25psi and ride better than other 8R with flintsones running 4-7 psi... All others (GY Mish & BKT) ride well at 15-20psi more in normal ranges... | |

Tractor tires. Cost vs quality?
