Could you make an 8-on-8 13 X 22.5 rim with 3/8" continuously welded center work?  A 445 X 22.5 is about 41" tall with about 17" of tread.

How about the Firestone radials? Reasonably priced it seems. I ran one on a rake that didn't track right and was impressed by the lack of wear it had compared to the other.

As mentioned the Firestone Destination look to solve a lot of issues. I am trying a set on a Tigermate cultivator. See how they do. I was going to switch it over to the 17.5 tires like the TM200 has but CIH gets $275 rim. Hard to find them aftermarket. Some 19.5 rims out their but I can get new 17.5's for $125. Was warned they don't have a lot of sidewall flex so it may be hard on the implement. These look to have a lot. Look low on air with 50psi.

Way too tall. The disk does have room for a taller tire, but not a lot of extra depth, any larger tire and wont be able to put it all in the ground

I have the same issue as the OP with a 34ft 370 disk.

I just put on 2 new firestone F1 and put them at the 90psi max. I will see how they last the rest of the season. Hope they do at $300 a pop.........

Firestone seems to have a empty spot at the direct replacement for a 12.5x15. Not a goodyear fan but they make a 380/55R 16.5 that have 74xx capacity. We have 4 which so far so good. Bad part 660.00 ea. Suppositly BKT has a USA made tire in that size for about 1/2 the price.

The only titan tire i will buy is the 12.5-15 fi load range f tire. On my second set on a 63ft jd 985. If they will hold it it folded they will hold yours. Got my last set from "tire guy" or something like that is his name on here. Real name is nick. Got 4 shipped to my shop for the price of 3 locally. Will buy they again. Galaxy makes a hiway implement tire that i yave seen used by some here with good luck. The titans have proven themselves on my 985 so staying with them. We run some import fi 9.5-15 on our tm2 case plow, its only 35 ft.

I have several of the BKT tires in a 12 ply in that size. Bought 2 yesterday they were a 160.00 each. Oldest ones are about a year and a half old. So far no problems. I have them on the main frame of a 3950 33 ft. IH disk. They are also on a seed tender I have in that size. Rated for like 65 mph.

farmerboy11 - 4/22/2016 20:19 320/70r15 is the Firestone destination direct replacement.

 

I heard Firestone was coming out with a 12.5 replacement but unable to find any info, Dia., Capacity, Width, Rim Width etc. on the tire you mentioned.

This has to be the greatest application of 16-26-ply aircraft implement tires I've come across. https://www.genscotire.com/agriculture.html
