WE only have had experience on their 3 rib front tractor tires of various sizes. we have them on several tractors and they have been as good as any. But I know bigger tires are sometimes a different story.

We have several sets on wagons— Are in better shape than Firestone’s that went on tractors at the same time. They seem to be a little smaller for the size and less sidewall imo though.

I sold a few of them. Casings were thinner than competition, tires were smaller in diameter. I did not recommend them in the larger sizes. If you buy them I would let them set for a year and harden up before you put them in corn stalks or bean stubble.
