Tractor tires
how to buy in the springfield massachusetts area
before buying a tractor tire, you should know the tractor tire size the carrying
capacity whether you want bias versus radial and other tractor tire buying
options
you can find the tractor tire size on the sidewall of the tractor tire
they're usually two sets of numbers the tire width from sidewall to sidewall and the rim
diameter
for example
if the tractor tire size is 11.2 by 24,
attire is eleven point two inches wide and rim diameter measures twenty four
inches
if the tire is a bias type tire, then there will be an X
before the number twenty four
if the tire is a radial tire
then they will be an R before the twenty four
the size of the tractor and work load determine the weight requirements of the tractor
or the tires ply rating
many farm tires are from a 6 ply up to a 12 ply rating
the higher the ply rating, the more weight the tire can handle
a tires ply rating is also found
on the sidewall of the tire
bias tires are definitely the cheaper tire option compared to a radial tire
these tires have a heavier sidewall and are less vulnerable to bruising from stumps and rocks
radial tires tend to be the costlier option, but with the higher price tag
come a smoother ride, extended tread life and less soil compaction
