Farm Tires

When choosing farm tires, there are several things to consider in order to get the best performance. First, consider the proper tread design for the job. For example, in rear farm tires an R1 is best for general dry land farming, while an R1W is suitable for farming in wet, moist, heavy clay soils and an R2 is ideal for wet muck and mud such as rice or sugar cane farming. Next, make certain your tire is large enough and has a high enough ply rating to carry the maximum load you intend to place it. In the instance of a 6.00-16 front steering tire, a 6 ply will carry a 1,140 pound load but an 8 ply will handle 1,360 pounds if you need that extra capacity. Also, compare the size of the tire you are replacing with the new tire. The Mounted Width is the overall width of the tire cross-section and the Mounted Diameter is the diameter of a new inflated tire measured at the centerline. These measurements are important in determining clearance and can be vitally important if your equipment is four wheel drive. You may also wish to consider radial vs. bias construction, as radial tires have characteristics that provide traction and efficiency superior to bias tires. Finally, think about whether you need a tubeless or tube type tire. Tubeless tires have been adopted at all wheel positions by leading tractor manufacturers-they operate at the same inflation and with the same load capacity as tube type tires, providing higher reliability and easier puncture repair.
