Well after 38 years the Firestone tires are so cracked up the left one pinched a tube it appears.
Used 16.9 - 28 tires seem to be rare in these parts. Miss a used set by two days and they were $250 each. I can get new Treadura 8 ply for $425 each, BKT's for $505 each and I think the Firestone were closer to $600. I use the MF265 mainly to bush hog the road sides and some around the place, church and neighbors.
Right now I am leaning towards the China Treadura tires since we are counting on them to loan us the money to make US government checks not bounce.
I put Deestone's on the back hoe and like them. They are from Thailand. I hear good things about BKT too.
Anyone ran Threadura tires yet?
