14.9's without a doubt. More square in. on the track. Firestone is a decent tire. I'm a believer in the old 45 Degree pattern, though they're getting harder to find. Just my opinion.....

Sounds like everyone is running 14.9's. Couple questions I have is how wide a rim are you running, and what pulling rulls are you running with. I posted a question a few weeks back reguarding this without much response. I would like to know if NATPA allows 14.9X38's on 14" rims. Thank you for your responses!

If you look at the flat plate numbers, a 14.9 puts a fair amount more rubber on the ground. I've choosen 14.9s fiald and roads and have had very good luck in those classes, both with JD's going low and slow and Olivers that are moving out a little faster

!4.9's are the better choice over the 15.5's. The problem is they are harder to find unless you buy them new. Firestone's make a good pulling tire.
