We have had various brand tires on the farm, which include B.F. Goodrich, Firestone, Goodyear, Titan, and most recently, Michelins. These have all been radial tires. My tire dealer has indicated that Firestone has the best support after the sale, when it comes to road/field hazards. I do like the 23 degree bar on their radial tires and they seem to push the issue with their tires having more lug on the ground than their competitors. I also think their tire is tough to beat in the field, however I have been disappointed with these tires on tractors that see a lot of road use. Every tire dealer I have talked with has said the same thing to me. The flatter the lug angle, the faster the wear on the road. We had Goodyear Dyna Torque II radials on another tractor used on the road and those tires wore very well. Those same tire dealers I talked with about the particular brand and model of tire to place on tractors which will see heavy road use all recommended Michelin (I think) Agri-bib radials. The tractor we put these tires on is not sitting close by for me to confirm the model/style. They have a very deep lug and the bar angle is something like 41 degrees. This tractor hauls a lot of grain on hard surface roads. I have only had them on for 1 year, but I do like what I see so far. I put the Goodyear Dyna-Torque II radials on a high horsepower mfwd tractor just 3 years ago simply because I only had to replace 4 of the 6 tires; two in the front and two in the back. I was told that Goodyear does not provide the customer support like Firestone does. We'll see how this set of tires lasts, too.
