R 14s Have Hit The Market

So, who's the first Guinea Pig?

I would have liked to have been. But only with 30 hours on my new tractor R1 tires, it's out of the question for me.

I paid $1100 for a pair of back tires on my backhoe. I think the premium brands, Good year and Firestone were about $1800 for the pair. The fronts were much cheaper at about $200 each. $4000 a pair seems really high. Especially since he was probably not pricing as big of a tire as my backhoe tires.

Only $4000 per conversion.

Most likely the quoted figure of $4000 includes rims so that you could unbolt one set of tires, bolt on the other, and get back to work. Kinda like people do with a set of snow tires for their vehicle.

I only see four sizes listed. Definitely not for SCUTs, MCUTs or even compact tractors. The first two; 340/85R24 and 460/85R34 would fit my 100HP JD 6415. Ship me a set, and I'll ty them

Interesting. They say it's a combination or Turf, Ag, and Industrial. I see the turfness down the center which would give a softer footprint. That should be better on snow and ice too. The full picture reminds me more of an aggressive truck tire than a tractor tire.

I think I saw a set of these a year or so ago on a Deere 5000 series tractor at a large dealership in Ohio. I thought the tires really different--but attractive-- at the time and I believe posted comments on the TBN. I'm pretty sure it was the same tire but it could maybe have been an earlier design or prototype? The size would have been 18.4x30 and 12.4x24.

Yeah, they say they've had them out for over a year and due to demand they are adding several new sizes this year. No doubt you saw these last year. :thumbsup:
