Long post. Sorry. Where can we buy 14.9-28 R4s? My 85 yo tractor pal Kenny has a very nice Ford 545 loader tractor. It has 16.9-24 R4s on it now. The wheels are the 2 piece center/looped rim type. See photos. He wants to put chains on it for better winter traction but not enough room between the tire and loader frame for chains. If we move the tires out it's too wide to haul on my trailer - which we do fairly often. I have a good pair of 13x28 rims/centers that I might let him wrangle me out of. That size would give him clearance for chains and still fit on my trailer. However, he insists he needs R4s on that tractor. Says a loader tractor will tear the lugs off of an R1. I argued that but he's a stubborn old Norwegian and gets to be wrong or right as he pleases. 14.9 24s will NOT do either.
Local tire shop we buy from can't find R4s in 14.9-28. Does anyone have a source for that size? Is there another type of tire that will satisfy him? 12 ply something? Radial?
PS, It behooves me to help him cause I use the tractor more than he does.
