Getting ready to purchase new rear R4s finally, need something pretty quick. 17.5L-24
I have prices on Akuret, BKT, Titan, Firestone, Goodyear. From $530/each on up. With Firestone and Goodyear being the highest. Probably I would pick Titan based on price.

Tiretown has new blemished tires for $225-250. Of course brand name is ground off so you have no idea what you are buying.
Has anyone ever bought blems from them? If so how were they?

Thanks

I put a set of bkt 17.5-24 on my backhoe, too soon to tell whether I should've got a set of goodyear's instead or not. The tire shop really pushed the offshore tires, likely due to profit margin.
 
I have found BKT radials to be excellent tyres, lasting twice as long as Goodyear redials.

I have Titan (Blems),15.5x38 on my JD 720 D and it pulls a 4x16" in third, no problem with only very slight wheel slippage..

No complaints here...BUT, they are about 2 1/2" taller than the 15.5x38 Firestones on my 630.....
