In Reply to: Titan tires? posted by Gwiz on December 15, 2020 at 16:46:48:
So Ive learned a few tings. My local small town tire shop wasnt necessarily on the same page as me.
The Titans he quoted were $75 cheaper in Nebraska than just south of KC. I was halfway there yesterday so called around. Of course no one stocks them and making a second trip would not justify the cost difference. As I was leaving a tractor salvage yard, I saw the Titan tire I wanted (new, freshly mounted). I was ready to pull the trigger but wanted to look once more online at tread patter.
Turns out my local guy was quoting what full time farmers would choose. The tire I liked was a bit cheaper (nearly same cost after buying tubes), but was not available from any of his suppliers. I called Titan and the a local distributor. Titans can be available the end of January. Firestones only a couple hundred more instead of double the price. I went with the Firestones.
I want the Original tread Firestones on the front. Seems no dealer can find these. eBay or Steiner.
Maybe this would not be so complicated if I bought tractor tires every day. So far its a PITA.
Thanks guys for your input. Im still wondering if unused tires crack worse than the ones that are used and abused?

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
