Hard time finding tires

[RayCo]

Hi group,

I want to get some bar tires for my tractor, but it seems that I have an odd wheel size. The only tires I'm finding in my size are those ribbed-around-the-circumference kind, or OEM replacements of what I have. The tires are for a 1975 Wheel Horse D-180. The wheels are 15×9.5". The current tires have a 27" diameter. Does anyone know of any bar tires in this size? Goodyear doesn't have them. Neither do Firestone, BFG, or Carlisle. What other brands are out there that I can look into? I've only ever purchased car tires.

Thanks a lot.

I was referred by a poster here to Cedar Rapids Tire for a tire locating problem I had and they came thru. Their website is their name.

Maxxis is a brand of tire that comes on many of the subcompacts. You can buy directly from them. Here's their website:

This is the email address of the guy that I requested a quote from. You may want to ask him if they offer a tire in your size if you don't find it on the website:

Good luck

Tirerack.com is a great source for automotive tires, not sure if they do AG tires.

Try Rustybores ebay tire store. He has a 27x8.50-15 R4 tire listed in the compact tractor tire section. This sounds close.

Also a 27x10.50-15 R4 in the skid loader section.

Thank you everyone. I've decided that rather than live the rest of my life with an odd tire size, I'd pick up a set of 12" wheels so that tires are easier to come by.

Can't find it. How does one find an Ebay store with only the seller's ID?
