OK the time has come. The front end has new bushings, bearings, seals, and paint. Now come the wheels. What to do, what to do? The 8N currently has two different tire styles. The left is a standard 3-rib. The right tire is the same size but with a car type tread. the tractor's been completely rebuilt and, although its not meant for show, I'd like to keep it pretty much original. Did Ford supply tires other than the 3-rib? I use the 8N for light logging but not field work. Is there a reason why the 3-rib might be a better choice?

Sounds like we are about the same place Whooly. Just got my new fronts today. 4x19 three rib design $30.11 each and new tubes for $7. I thought about switching the rims and going to the automotive tires but a tractor is a tractor for more reasons than mowing. If I need a manicure its Grasshopper time.

I got them from a local tire dealer where the neighbor works. Best part is the doorbell ring this morning and he is dropping them off. Now that is service.

Whooly..... ....the 3-rib actually has a "powersteering effect" by limiting its ground contact patch on hard ground. On soft ground, the ribs give better purchase when turning and less likely to skid so much on tight turns.

Some that mow a lotta grass don't like what the 3-ribs do to their manicured lawn and therefore like a flat tread automotive tire. Your call..... ..Dell
