I have not made the leap to purchase a set of new rear tires for my ZTU at this time because I simply haven't needed to. They currently have a set of good ole CO-OP Super Power Plus tires on them that are more than likely older than I am (41). They hold air very well (probably tubed) but are really cracked. For appearance and fear that one may blow if I attempt to do any tinkering in a field, plow day, or on a tractor drive, I am thinking I might want to "get interested" in a set. I usually see them between $350-600 per tire from known reputable manufacturers, which is a substantial investment.
With that being said, I have seen a number of ads over the last 6 months where irrigation pivot tires are being advertised for less than $200 per tire. Now I realize there is a lot to look into such as purpose, durability, tire ply, etc; but what are your thoughts about these? Would they even be an option for a show tractor that would do very little if any field work? Opinions wanted and feel free to educate me. As the saying goes, if it sounds too good to be true it usually is.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
