[AT] AT Digest, Vol 85, Issue 3

Sat Jul 12 12:03:40 PDT 2025

Try to find a local guy that will work on them and check the rims....most local shops will not steer you bad..and if the  owner has dirt and grease on him you're good because he doesn't want to work on your tire more than needed.

We have a 1948 Ford 8N tractor that we bought new. The rear tires are still original but the sidewalls are now tearing. 

Can anyone suggest a good brand I should buy and who has reasonable prices?  Thank you.

77 years is very impressive!

I wonder if anything made today would last half that long.

Anxious to hear what experiences with newer tires people are having.

It might help to say where you?re located. ME Miller Tire used to hang around on this forum in the past. Not sure if they still are.

There are a few vendors that show up at the larger antique tractor and engine shows.  They typically have ?good? prices and you save shipping.  Not sure where you are but the upcoming Portland show usually has 2/3 vendors
