Faunsdale, AL | I have quite a few of them.
Their best application is where you’re running in briars and stobbs that would tear up a normal tire. Dosed with their stop leak, you’ll at least get to run all day.
May need air after sitting overnight or may not need any for months, but you better look them over good before you move. The sidewalks are so stiff they won’t look much like they need air until you turn and the tire pops loose from the rim.
They do sell some on two piece rims, but most sizes I’ve used are on drop center rims so the beads are cut down. I have mounted some myself where I needed to use the OEM rims and I almost always wind up putting a ring of inner tube cut from a rear tractor tube stretched over the rim to tighten the seal on the bead up. That and the stop leak works pretty well.
I have not had good luck long term using their 11:00-16 size tire/wheel assemblies on tractors with a front loader. Seem to crack the edges off the rim in a year or two. I think the sidewalls are just so stiff they over stress the rims. Front 2WD tractor wheel other than with a loader seem to be a good application for them.
I ran a few on wagons to replace 11L-15 implement tires, but found it was the same money and less trouble to buy Firestone highway special rib implement tires and mount on my OEM rims with the correct offset and dose with the stop leak.
If you really want the ultimate for a bush cutter or similar, get the airplane tires foamed.
