Farmall 656 - I wrecked a 13.6x38 tire last weekend when I lost a lynch pin and the plow frame swung into the inside of the right rear tire.
Tire is shot. Was a Good Year DynaTorque II R1. I bought the tractor with no history; no idea how old they were. They have some checking but I figured they had 10 years+ left in them the way I use this tractor (better than 50% tread left).
A used tractor dealer 1.5 hours south of me has a 'weather checked one with nearly 100% tread on it still' for $175. No idea what brand and it was pretty obvious he wasn't going to go check. I asked for a picture and he responded 'You want me to take a picture of a $175 used tire?!' I politely said 'yes' and gave him me email address but I'm not holding my breath waiting for the picture.
Other route is 2 new tires. If I go the new route I'm going to put on good ones (Firestones?). My local tire dealer was closed today due to Labor Day weekend so I called another dealer in a nearby town and he said he didn't see any of his distributors stocking a Firestone in this size?
Your thoughts please. What are considered 'good' Ag tires now? I have 10 year old Good Years on another tractor that I have been please with but I think Good Year sold their Farm Tire business?

It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
