Do you guys find that three rib or four wear faster on a combination loader/light field work tractor? I'm talking the quality of new tires I would get at the coop tire shop, not an old one that's been on Grandpa's Farmall M for 60 years - I have some tires like that.
All of my fields are within a few miles so there isn't a great deal of blacktop driving but I do haul bales on the loader a mile or two a day on gravel/blacktop feeding.
I guess I should have mentioned that my biggest "beef" is with new tires on an 886. It's the only three rib set of tires other than old letter series on this farm. I have four rib on the only other two wheel drive tractor and they are wearing forever, but it is a 4440 and doesn't have that extreme IH camber setup. The two tires on the 886 blew in haying this year a week apart and the coop didn't have the same brand. One of them has literally worn the outside rib about down and the center rib is following. The other new tire isn't much better - all with less than 250 hours. The old tires were better quality or/and hardened with age as they didn't show much wear at all and just aged out. Both new tires are eight ply. I want to say the "soft" one is a Sampson.
It's a loader tractor so I know they won't last forever and I'm already planning four rib as I think they will last longer. Do they?
FYI - the front end is in great shape, no wear or welds, and the measurements all pan out. It's just a cheap tire. Well, it was still $170, but cheap anyway. I'm already planning for better tires and I'm sure I'm a couple years away.

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
