In Reply to: trailer tires posted by bweb on February 14, 2009 at 15:09:02:
I try hard to find cloth belted or bias ply tires for my trailers. I have found that after a few years the radial tires crack some and water gets to the steel belts then they rust and tend to start breaking apart. I can usually get better than 10-15 years out of bias tires. I have bought regular steel belt trailer tires for a few of my trailers because of cost and availability and they work for about 5-6 years. My main concerns are that they are trailer tires and have the appropriate weight rating. Seems like truck tires tend to sway more and look kinda funny.
I have also found that the load range letter doesn’t mean much, I’ve seen a wide variety of actual pounds weight rating on the same letter range tire. I go by the total capable weight rating of my axles and make sure the tires are more.

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.
