16.9 x 38 best.......16.9 x 34 next best......16.9 x 30.......16.9 x 28's...etc......what else you need to know? Bigger diameter is usually always better if you get the HP and gears to turn them.

And Goodyears are usually the worst.

I have Safemark 16.9x28's which I think are a Goodyear copy?

I don't think they grip very good on hard dry tracks but the treads were rounded a bit. Sticky tracks they do bite.

I reverse spun them on some concrete over the winter so I will see if that helped as they have a good edge on them now.

I'd like to have a set of Armstrong x 38's.....wish list....

Safemarks from many years ago were not a Goodyear mold.

iv got armstrongs on both my tractors and really like them they will bite on concrete topcuts allowed around here.

I've never seen anything bite like an Armstrong 23degree cleat. On the track or the field.

Wish I could buy them new!

There isn't much a WC can't do.

WD's just do it better.

If I had the money, there is a 14.9x38 set in Roanoke VA for sale that are pretty new.

$1300
