We have one tractor that tends to make the most trips to our local grain elevators in the fall, pulling 700 to 900 bushels of grain with each trip. This tractor also is hooked up to the planter in the spring and on the stalk chopper in the fall. I have seen Good Year Dyna Torq II radials on a tractor of ours and they lasted a long time. I have seen the Firestone 23 degree radials on a similar model and size tractor and they wore rapidly on the road. I think they are a great tire in the field, but from what I have been told by independent tire dealers, the flatter the angle on the lug, the more rapidly they will wear. The Firestone tires were about 80 percent worn out in a matter of 700 hours on the tractor. I replaced those Firestone tires with the Michelin radial tires, which I believe the model tire is the AgriBib. I asked questions at farm shows about tractor tires and longevity in road use. This was the tire consistently recommended to me by every independent tire dealer I talked with. I currently believe we have a little over 200 hours on the tractor since the tires were installed and they look good so far, as compared to the Firestone tires showing wear the very first year when hauling grain. You can ask me what I think of these Michelin tires in a couple more years when we get some more road time on the tread. I will add the comment made to me by one of the tire dealers I talked with. He had indicated the Michelin tires are a common brand in Europe, where tractors spend more time on the road, as compared to here in the United States.
