[AT] Tractor rears getting old

Hi,
Dad's 560 Cockshutt needs a set of 15.5's on the rear. They're prety
well shot, so he's wanting to get new or a good used set. My 88 has
decent tires, but they have some checks. Would like to find some tires
for that also, but since I mostly just go puttin down the road, that's
not to big of a priority. I pull a hayrack or a gravity wagon every
now and then, but that's about it since there's no hydrolics.
 Thanks for all of the info.
 Take Care,
 Tyler Juranek
