| I was getting ready to buy a new set of American Farmer 14L-16.1 3 rib tires for my 7060, but after reading theres alot of people who have had trouble with them. Has anyone on here used american farmer tires and what do you think of them. Ide save $400 by getting them rather than firestones. |

We have been selling the American Farmer tire manufactured in the USA by Speciality Tire of America for approx. 3 years. We have been direct with Firestone AG for over 30 years and it is still our flagship brand. We took on the A/F tire as a lower priced line to compete with the imported tires some of our competition is selling. The tire holds up well and we have seen very few workmanship issues. They have an excellent warranty that is handled in a timely manner if the need arises. We have some large accounts in very demanding applications that prefer the Firestone front tractor and imp tires. All in all I think the tire is a good value. Eric NY www.sedamtire.com

How do they bite or pull. I bought a pair of rear tires for my CA that were cheap, had to fill with fluid and a set of weights to pull anything.

| I went ahead and bought them. I gave $280 apiece for them put on. I thought I got an alright deal on them since all the other places around wanted around 325 apiece. Im actually a tire dealer and couldnt get them that cheap. |

I put 4 rib 10.00-16's on front of my 210 puller. not used much compared to a working tractor, but they are a good tire. It even takes a bounce at the end on occasion! ------------- 210 "too hot to farm" puller, part of the "insane pumpkin posse".
