Subject: RE: Tractor tires. Cost vs quality?


Central PA
what do you want? best traction when warm?
best traction on the road?
best traction on ice?
longest life?
best flex?
least ground pressure and compaction?
these all have there strengths aand weaknesses.

some NATers dis michelin but i feel they give the best performance in our soils, and best road wearability and ride. yes they will show sidewall breakdown before the tread is gone but i rather have that than 25 year old goodyears hard as a rock.

i had a mfwd loader tractor that i replaced mich fronts with bkt and they just seemed stiffer and squeaked at ever turn.


what is an acceptable tire life? 5,10 years or the life of the tractor? seems like some biaas tires are older than the tractors they are on!
