Many tractor pulls do not allow Radial tires. Only bias ply. I'M NOT AWARE of any tread pattern restrictions.Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy Tablet

I bet the antique tractor pulls have some tread pattern requirements. Is that so?https://commercial.firestone.com/en/agriculture/product/puller?compare_index=361992[Dave Maynard] We are not allowed radial tires in the antique tractor pulls and must use bias, which we still can get. [Spencer] Nope - Bias tires are still alive and well. Not saying that’s what anyone should buy, but they are still widely available.   [James Peck] Are all rear tractor tires now radial https://www.carlislebrandtires.com/our-products/product-detail/large-radial-tractor-csl-28 Firestone claim they introduced the 23 degree design in 1950. https://commercial.firestone.com/en-us/agriculture/solutions/traction/23-degree [deanvp] Did a quick search. Firestone advertised better road life and slightly better traction. But 45's were better on side hills. And shed mud better [deanvp] I can only offer my limited experience with the two. The 45 degree lug sheds mud better but the 23 degree lug offers slightly better traction [Mike M]What's the difference between 45 and 23 degree, other that the obvious? [John Hall]  OK here is the latest. Getting rims local, about the same price as you can get anywhere on the net by the time I add shipping---plus I need them NOW.Talked to 2 tire shops. Leaning toward the closest one. I'll have them mount the tires on the new rims. I'll then put them on the tractor and add fluid. Leaning toward a Carlisle--I had no idea they made any thing besides lawn mower tires. These tires will be a 45 deg angle, not 23. Replacing a set of multi-angle Safemark. The other option is tires made by Galaxy. [John Hall] Looks like I have to buy 2 rear tires in a hurry. Anybody bought a particular brand the in the last few years that you are happy with? The cheaper the better--got to buy 2 rims as well. Rims made it 47 years and have stress cracks, the tires are 60-70% tread, but at 28 years old they have dry rotted.._______________________________________________AT mailing listmailto:AT at lists.antique-tractor.comhttp://lists.antique-tractor.com/listinfo.cgi/at-antique-tractor.com_______________________________________________AT mailing listmailto:AT at lists.antique-tractor.comhttp://lists.antique-tractor.com/listinfo.cgi/at-antique-tractor.com_______________________________________________AT mailing listAT at lists.antique-tractor.comhttp://lists.antique-tractor.com/listinfo.cgi/at-antique-tractor.com
