Hey all,
I'm really starting to like this little 2040 I've got.
It has the standard 13.6-28 tires on the back. Standard tire size for the front is 6.00-16, but this one came with pert-near bald 9.5L-15 implement tires. I picked up a nail yesterday and figured this is a good opportunity to consider new fronts. For now, I have a pair of badly weather checked 9.5-14s on it, I only put them on because I didn't have another 9.5L15 to replaced the flat. They don't look too bad, but the rims are too light. It has a 541 loader on it and a swept-back front axle.
My first thought was to stick with the 9.5l-15s. Nearby tire store has tubeless 8 ply Harvest Kings for $147 mounted. I suspect these are foreign. They also have 4 rib Firestones for $219 each. Then I got to thinking about the Gensco aircraft tires. They have a set of 12 ply 3 ribs in a size similar to a 9.5-15. Rim, tire and tire sealant for $139 each plus $80 shipping.
Thoughts?
