Replacing 1 tire - or 2?

[Hay Dude]

Nothing worse than a tube leaking under a tire. What a PITA to fix.

Have any y’all bought tires lately?
I was fixin to put tires on my baler last year. Last years price was $2,400.
I did them this summer.
This years price was $3,200. 33% increase.

It all distills down to how cheap you are actually.

Yeah you never know who might be struggling and who may have married into wealth, inherited a bunch of money, etc.

If the tires are ok, just one leaker, I'd throw tubes in both fronts (the other will start as soon as you fix the leaker). If you replace the tire, do both. The tire diameter between the two shouldn't cause much undue wear (front to back is more critical), but again, the other tire will soon go.

When my tractor was about 5 years old, I damaged a sidewall on one front tire. I just replaced it. Now at 11 years, the one I didn't replace is pretty worn, so I will probably replace both. Never had a problem before with one worn and one new though.
