[AT] tires with tubes

[Al Jones]

I agree.  Our local tire shop is top-notch and knows how to work on everything from a wheel barrow tire to a BIG tractor tire.  I remember I was looking for some tires for my trailer.  Said something about not wanting anything made in China.  His reply was "they ALL are."

As far as tubes go, I don't want a farm tire without one.  If you get in a tight and the tire goes REAL slack, you can limp a ways with it.  A tubeless tire will come off the rim.  That said, my dad's year-old 7130 JD has radials all the way around, and they are tubeless.

If not, it can be ordered and usually have it the next day if I order early enough.   I had a very old hay rake with a really weird size.   That one took a few days.  Installation is available, reasonable and the help is competent, even if they are young.  They are open Saturdays  too.
