D17 rear tires needed.

What are good tires for a Allis D17 Series I (brand)?

Currently have 18.4/15-28 but need to replace tubes and might as well do all at once.

Also, liquid ballast or not? Plowing days are over, it will just be a utility tractor for now.

BKT is a good tire at a good price

I just put a set of BKT 14-9x28’s on my 45. One reason is I’ve had good service from the BKT 12.4X24’s on my 2 CA’s.

It's the color tractor my grandpa had!

16.9 x 28 bias ply "R-1" 6-ply rear tractor tire. Didn't know they had more than that other than a radial.

14.9 is too small for a D17. Go with 16.9.

'49 G, '54 WD45, '55 CA, '56 WD45D, '57 WD45, '58 D14, '59 D14, '60 D14, '63 D15D, '66 D15II, '66 D21II, '67 D17IV, '67 D17IVD, '67 190XTD, '73 620, '76 185, '77 175, '84 8030, '85 6080

had a D-17 with 14.9x28's that I thought looked just right. Cause I was getting ready to sell it!

I noticed a 180 at the tire shop the other day that was in for new shoes. 18.4x28's came off and were there. Firestone's, pretty worn and some cracking but still usable. I could inquire with the owner as to their availability? Tires that size are pretty hard to come up with.

So, I went back to the tire shop yesterday. Those 18.4x28's are probably better than I thought, however, they will not be for sale as they are going on one of the current owners other tractors. When they get the rim situation figured out.

how do 18 .4 28 look on a d17?

"how do 18 .4 28 look on a d17?"

Our IV had 18.4's on it when we first bought it used 40 years ago. I put on 16.9's a few years ago when it finally got new tires. I think the 16.9's are perfect for this size tractor. They just look right. The 18.4's were too wide and just looked like overkill. If you plowed they were too wide for the furrow. Forget something like cultivating. Each to their own, but for an all-around utility tractor, I wouldn't put 18.4's on it again.

i know this is getting off the orignal post mine does have 16.9 x 28 and they are very close to the top of the fenders , i think they look good . tires that are taller than the fenders i think looks bad. but i want to put 9.50 x15 or 11.00 x 15 on front as long as the top of the hood sits level
