Northwestern IL | I have seen people put 11R 22.5 truck tires on the front and last a long time. You would have to build a rim center though. |

southern saskatchewan | Was having trouble with flat tires on front of two wheel drive tractors feeding cattle. The older 8 ply tires were just to poor to keep the rocks from damaging the tubes. My first choice for new tires was 12 ply 1100 16 tubeless firestone but the price was about 500 per tire. Ended up putting BKT F-3 Multi rib tires on two tractors and the price was about half the firestones. The bkt's are a year old and still happy with them. |

| I put a set of Firestone 14L16.1 four ribs on my 8050 three or four years ago, I'm well happy with them. |

| Used 325/85 R16 Michelin military tires. Have lots of sidewall flex for loader work. |

Southern Nevada desert | I had American tire on the tail wheels on a swather a few years ago and they were terrible, I think they rotted out in 2 seasons. BKT's have been good to me in other applications. |

As posted above, I have a new American Farmer 11.00-16 on the front of my Ford 9600. Put it on last fall and haven't used the tractor since. Nice looking tire, the jury is still out.

Brant Ontario, Canada | I put a set of 11.00-16 quad ribs on my MF 1135. Was pleased with the price of BKT. They have been on two seasons so far and still look new. Tractor sees a lot of road between fields and tugging wagons to the elevator. I also have had very good luck with implement tires from BKT. Wouldn't hesitate to buy another set of BKT tires for anything on my farm. |

SW OH | Free ones. Like the used tires off your pickup truck, or your neighbors. 265 thru 305 fit well. Most have a higher weight rating than an ag tire and that's at higher speeds. I haven't bought a wagon, implement, or tractor front in many years.

Hennepin, IL | Avoid Carlisle, had one blow out on the front of our 1086 going down the road, wasn't much more than a year old and saw almost no loader work. Other one split not 2 months later. Have a set of bkt 14L16.1 on the front of a 1066 and they seem to be holding up well other than it seemed like they wore a lot that first 6 months or so. |
