I've been trying to replace the front tires on my MFWD M-108. Want to go with a air plane retread tire on the front due to the fact the tractor lives in the woods 90% of the time. I'm currently running the United 18.4 34's on the back. this is a logging tire that has the Kevlar sidewall. The front tire I'm wanting to upgrade is a 13.6R24 agg style tire that is only 8 ply I think. They make a tire that is a retreaded airplane tire used for Right of Way mowing that is supposed to be 125 ply but it is a different rim size. Does anybody have any info on where to pick up such a animal. I know that the tire needs to have the same rolling circumference as the 13.6 R 24's. I've tried dealing with a company here in south Georgia but have been getting the runaround for the past 2 months. Any sugestions???????????

Sorry, can't help, but I have seen posts where people have their tires foam filled just like the airplane tires.

I have considered that. The quote I got on that was 1000.00/tire. The quote that I had on the airplane tires and steel wheels was 2600.00 for both.
