Tire Selection Cracks in tire.

[PILOON]

You can purchase obscure, low volume, obsolete tractor and truck tires on eBay.

What size(s) do you need?

They are 9.5 X 18 R3's.
What kills is being in Canada the shipping due to weight and size is a killer.
As a pair they exceed UPS limits and need to be 2 shipments which then puts the cost into orbit.
LTL would be the way but then you are into customs brokers and loading docks.

When I did locate a pair I tried to have delivery to a US depot but EBAY due to frauds etc insists delivery to MY actual address.
Pick up would be the answer but who wants to drive 500 or 1000 miles for a pair of tires.

99% of cracks in rear tractor tires are cosmetic. The rest are rock cuts.....
You can buy a coating that they use on show cars that might slow down the process.
