I had Titan 17.5L24 R4 tires on my New Holland TC45DA and they provided terrible traction, so I set out to find a R1 type tire.
I only found one 17.5LR24 / 460/70LR24 tire with a R1 tread pattern the BKT RT 747.
The RT 747 is a radial and thus I hope it flexes better than my old 8 ply bias Titan R4s and helps with traction and ride especially while mowing pastures.
Last year I replaced fronts that were also Titan R4s with the radial Yokohma Alliance 550 Multi Use tires (10-16.5 / 265/70R16.5) and they seem to ride and flex better than the old bias R4s.
The old rear R4s were loaded with water, so I drained them and when no more would run out the valve stem I used a syphon hose to drain as mush of the rest as I could. I was surprised that the old rear R4s with zero air pressure and almost no water still supported the tractor with NO sidewall flex/sag.
It's going to be a while before I do any mowing in the pastures, but I will update on how they do once I start using them.
