53916 | One tractor here came to the farm in the 90's with cracked out face and sidewalls on the rears. One is a goodyear dyna torque 2. Other is an Armstrong that looks similar. Both are bias. Both were about 35% then... 15% tread now. Both still on that tractor. But that's "old goodyear". From when quality meant something. Big machine here from '89-'11 came with 3400 hrs and maybe 80% dyna torque radials. Sidewalls were shredded when they were replaced around 30% tread and at a rough guess 7000 hours on the clock. Work ranged from hay wagons to chopper to 5-18" moldboard to ten shank chisel to manure spreader. Firestone radial 23* replacements lasted beyond narrowing it up for planter/sprayer tractor. They are now awaiting the bigger tractor needing new rears.
Old goodyears were better than the examples we are seeing now.
Don't want to get me started on RT/S truck tires.... | |

Another Goodyear tire dies prematurely
