I bought a 375 bu M&W gravity box with bad 13.50-16.1 tires on it for what I thought was a song. I mean c'mon, how much can tires be anyway?

YIKES!!!!!

$186.50 plus 40 bucks mounting each?!?

At least I'll never need to buy them again as this wagon won't be hauling much down the road. Maybe it's not so bad.

Where in Wisconsin are you? If your around the Madison area give Weber Tire a call. (They have a Sun Prairie Phone Number.) Best place I have ever found to buy tires.

you might try calling 1-800-NO FLATS Tell them what you need and ask for tires and rims. Free call, worth a shot.

To bad you couldn't put on the tires and rims from a H 1 military Hummvee. They are 35 X 12.50 X 16.50 , and have an extremely strong casing design. They are everywhere used and can be had for a song. Made by goodyear. I was going to put some on my ford f-350 but never did. Probably would really be heavy on it though. I would think they would be great wagon tires.

My first thought was to look around for a different size tire and rim that would be less money. But, with 375 bushel capacity you will be over 6000 pounds per wheel including the weight of the wagon. (I'm from KS and think in terms of 60 lb/bu wheat.) Not a lot of low cost tires around that can handle that kind of weight. My father-in-law has old 9.00x20 (I think that is the size) army truck tires on his dump wagon that came pretty cheap. They are a lot taller than what you are looking at, though, and would obviously require different rims. Not sure of the load rating, either.

I considered getting different rims briefly but quickly found that route would cost more than just buying the rubber this time. The tires on it are 10 ply.

It isn't that bad as long as I don't run a T-post or something through one. They really should last for years and years and years for how much it will get used.

Have you thought about putting on a set of aircraft tires and rims? I had some 11Lx16.1 on a tractor I got a few years ago. Replaced them with a set of used 28 ply 16 inch aircraft tires on new rims for less than half the cost of one new tractor front.

I have looked into those aircraft tires and agree they'd be the way to go but shipping to Wisconsin doubles the prices. I never looked at this size but I've looked hard at some 11L-15 and 12.5L-15 replacements a year ago.

Depending one where you live and the bolt pattern you need, I may know of a few places to look for different tires/rims. I'm in Kaukauna, just below Green Bay and above Appleton in Outagaimie county. You can get used tires/rims for 1/2 that of new from junk yards. the main problem is if they have enough because there are quite a few people who try to go that route.

I don't have any 13.5x16.1 tires, but I do have several 16.5Lx16.1's and 19Lx16.1's. They don't come for less than 400 around here, although they do usually install them for that. I'd want to make sure I was getting a good tire that won't dry rot in a few years too. Firestone and GoodYear were about the best I've seen in that regard. Sure hurts when you've got to change a set...

These are B.F. Goodrich. Firestones were 280 each and Goodyear was 260 each
