I'm not sure you can buy long bar, short bar tires anymore. When they first came out they were supposed to be a good all around tire, but the road wear sucked. Our best seller was Firestone Traction Field and Roads. The field and road was cheaper tire and not as good, I think the tread depth was shallower and there were not as many bars on the tire. I had some Acurets on my Oliver, they were ok. Titan always had a thinner casing and we had lots of corn stalk problems with them. It seemedif we left them sit out back a year they toughened up and were not quite as bad. The later Goodyears we sold were ok after they went away from the long bar/short bar combination. I do not know how they are now that Titan is making them. There is a formula that you can use to see if radials will pay for themselves. Unfortunatly I have been away from farm tire sales for 9 years and cant remember it now. Perhaps it is still on the Firestone or Michlin website. I would stick with the tire size that came with your tractor. I would never go with R&C unless you are raising rice or cane. Over the 22+ years in the tire business I sold and we installed many full semi loads of Firestone tires. I would recommend them to anyone in the US. I think Firestone only sells the Super AllTraction bias tire now. At the time they came out the told us it was a bias casing with the radial tread installed.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
