Where to get tractor tires
- Thread starter bczoom
- Start date
After searching high and low, I finally found the ones I need in Wauseon Ohio.
http://www.millertire.com/
They had Titan's for my rears, Carlisle for the front.
It worked out to about $800 for all 4, shipped to my door (I think shipping was a tad over $100). Not a steal but that $800 is what I was seeing for just buying the 2 rear tires anywhere else.
A special thanks to BigDog for checking with his local truck/tractor supply places and calling me with the results.

Bump.
Baby has new shoes.
What a fiasco getting this done.
As noted in my previous posts, it was hard finding them. It took about 10 days to get here due to wrong shipping info given to the trucking company.
OK, the rims were toast. Got new rear rims from JD (for $175 each
). JD doesn't have any more front rims. Luckily, I found a used pair that were in decent shape. I took off the rubber, got them sandblasted, primed and painted.
This morning, I got a call from the installers (who come to my house to do the work) asking if I'm ready and can they come. I wasn't going to turn them down since I was piggy-backing on another local repair to avoid the charge to bring the truck out. Well, it's been raining all morning and I now have to drive the tractor with the R1's through the lawn to get it to the driveway. Luckily, the ground wasn't yet soft enough to do damage.
He mounted the 4 new tires on their rims, removed the calcium from the old rear tires, mounted the 4 new and filled the rears with Rim-Guard.
So, it took a month and $1500 but I now have new sneakers on the tractor.
For those of you with older tractors (greater than 10 years) that have any tire or rim issues, you may want to start checking to see if the tires and/or rims are available as it may take awhile to get them.

OK, a couple pictures.
Compared to the old rear tires, the bars they're putting on aren't as deep as they used to be. Heck, the bars aren't any taller than the tires I just took off. At least they're not rounded.
I was hauling some stone the other day. The tires felt sure-footed. The fronts didn't go down under load and the rim-guard seemed to keep the back end more stable.

Actually, they hold out very well. On the ones I took off, the only real damage to the paint was from the corrosion from the calcium. There were some scuffs in the front rims but the rear have such a deep well, not much gets in there.
