Question that comes to my mind is how tall is the tread on a new tire and how short would it be to be wore out? I see adds that say 40%, 50%, etc. but never say how they figured it. Not sure I'd trust their percentages anyway.

Just wondering. My 2606 loader and hoe is not used for field work so I don't need tread for traction but the sidewalls are cracked real bad and there are a couple lengthways (going around the side of the tire) tears/cuts maybe a few inches long that go to the second layer. With the farm sitting on a state highway, I'm afraid to road it to town or anywhere in fear that a little heat may make it blow and I don't want it sitting on a state highway waiting to be fixed and pay a fortune doing it.

Its probably been that way for years and holds the hoe up just fine all this time. I'd like to road it about 13 miles to do a little dirt work.

What do you guys think? (sorry to hijack this thread but the answer should help everyone)(I think the 2606 has 16.9x28s also if I remember correctly but may be 26s. Thanks.
