I"m needing to replace the rear tires on my John Deere 730lp tractor. What"s on it now are 16.9 x 38 tires. They seem pretty hard to find and also pretty expensive (I guess all rear tires are, right). Anyway, I"m not really familiar with tractor tire sizes and was wondering if I could use a different size that might be more common and less expensive. I have no idea what size tires this thing had on it to begin with. Any help would be appreciated. I"m not really restoring this tractor right now but plan on one of these days. Right now, it"s still working on the farm.

Measure the width of the rims and that will help you decide what size you need or want on there. Could have had 15.5-38 or other sizes too.

I have never heard the term "buffed" in reference to tires, can you give me some help Glen?

I should have explained the tires again. It use to explain more on their site someplace? We've used several of the blem (blemished) or buffed tires on "working" tractors and combines with never any problems. There is some comestic flaw in them in appearance usually is all I ever saw and like one recent Titan tire had some letters buffed off side and just said tan brand on it but there wasn't anything else wrong with it in appearance to me. The blemished tires may have came out of the mold with rough looking sidewalls. Doesn't hurt a thing for a working tractor but not what everyone wants if they are picky about appearances on a show tractor. We use to have a local Lee dealer that sold blemished truck tires and they warranted them on their own if any problems but that's what you need to ask when buying blemished or buffed tires is there a warranty if you want that and can you return if you don't like them after having shipped in. With most of them you don't get any warranty at all and that's up to the dealer if they want to do that. These type tires are not for everyone but can save you quite a bit on a working machine.

They take a body grinding silicon carbide disk at about 36 grit and remove the raised portion of any moled-in lettering that they want to reomove, then use a lighter grit disk to "polish" the grit marks out out, until it looks like it was a fresh from the mold tire with no manufacturer id.

 More explanation... in reply to F-I-T, 02-21-2007 07:20:03  
Unfortunately some of the last tires I got from them they didn't polish the letters that well and left some rough marks and part of the name on side of tires so that's why they aren't for someone picky with a show tractor. The rough side walls of a blemished tire will collect a bit more dust and mud but never hurt the working performance otherwise of the tire.

The tires were made by Goodyear (or whatever company), but found to have some flaw-usually cosmetic that doesn't affect the life of the tire.

The manufacturer doesn't want to sell the tire this way, but doesn't want to toss it. So TireTown or whomever buys it at a big discount, buffs off the manufacturer's name and other info, and sells it for a cheaper price than a tire with the brandname on it.
