 Topic: 18.4x28 tires
Posted: 27 Oct 2010 at 2:16pm |
I need a set of 18.4 x28 tires and I was shocked I was quoted $700 a piece for Armstrong tires. Any suggestions?

My 180 has the same, I spoke to a local tire shop a Goodyear dealer(they sell buffed tires with no name) and can get me new ones for $310 each, Goodyear were a lot higher as were the Firestone, I did not price Armstrong. They did say they would have to order and would be a few days to two weeks.
These guys are in Kansas but do ship:

18.4X28 are expensive as I guess it is not a common size on newer tractors and few are made.
I spent the money on rims & centers to upgrade my 16.9X28's on my 180 to 18.4X30's instead of 18.4X28's...very glad I did. I paid less than $500 a tire for new BKT tires. I also tried to get quote out of TireTown and the wouldn't respond to my request for a quote so I told them I'd take my business somewhere else if they wouldn't give me a firm quote. I think the prices they post on their web site are total bull and thought I've seen other people comment their real prices are higher. Mike

$700 a piece is cheap! I priced out some Firestones a few months ago at $890 each! I think I'll try to get another year out of the old ones!

Skyhigh, where did you get the 18.4x30 centers and rims? Are they spin outs as the originals were? I would be willing at a reasonable amount of money to upgrade my old beast 180 as the last set of 28's I bought were used(from Tire Town) and are showing signs of carcass separation, I have had them over two years and Locust thorns was not very kind to them. We are slowly eradicating the Locust so new tires may be in the offing!

I got my set of used AC 5-rail spin out rims & centers from Niel at Northside Salvage in Red Bud, IL. I think he will take your old rims & centers on trade but I wanted to keep my old ones (4 rails with 16.9X28's) to go on my WD45 that the 190 picker is going on. Mike

Mike that tractor looks much better with the big rubber. I found a set of 18.4 x 30 rims, centers and tires for my 175D for $500, only downside is the long bar/short bar tires which are very rough riding at slow speeds.....170D next to it has the 18.4 x 28 Armstrongs on it.
