Good morning from Indiana, Chief. I don't know that that would make a difference. I've been really lucky myself, in that I've neighbors that have been through thickets and stuff, and once they get imbedded, it's a never ending, maddening cycle of tire repair, or replace them. Maybe once you do replace them, might look into the difference between radials and bias ply. Maybe the newer radials have beltings that might help, and that they have more lugs may, which may or may not be of benefit. It's almost a good question that you might ask at either the GoodYear or Firestone sites under AG tires, except that they might tell you how they NEED to sell you new tires anyway (which might make it a bad question). That then goes back to the question of radial vrs. bias play lug patterns, which is best (no answer yet). I'm running tubeless, but that's only as good as not getting poked by something. I wonder with the low pressures alone in tractor tires that it might not be better to run tubeless, because stuff (dirt, etc) can and does get between the tube and the tire to wear it's way into the tube. I did see an interesting add on TV last night for the first time ever from Bell Safety Equipment, where they now manufacture bicycle tires with bladders filled with "stop leak", much like that "fix a flat" stuff, that naturally fills the pokes unbeknownst to the rider, for the most part. First thing that went through my mind was applying that technology to low RPM tractor tires where wouldn't throw the balance off. Guess it's a dumb thought on my behalf, and hope I didn't hex you, because here I'm reading your post the next day. No rim rust, jagged edges, dirt in them tires on that 5020 or 6030? I don't remember what you're running, except is one of them as I recall. Big job though to fix them. Have a safe holiday weekend. Be safe on that tractor all the time. Mark.
