the rules in antique pulling dont allow radials, because antique pulling is usually 58 and earlier, radials came out in 59 so they are not allowed, most clubs try to keep the antiques tractors authetic. later model pulling not sure about that.

A couple of clubs i pull with dont allow radials in the antique classes. Just somehting to think about so you dont go buy a set and cant use them.

Wicker, I see that nobody has responded to your question so I will give you my opinion and observations. Radials do their best on faster tractors for pulling. They do not work as well on mph tractors due to the softness of their carcass. True, they make a larger footprint but it comes at the expense of sidewall stiffness. I really don"t recommend them unless you exceed 10 mph in your pulling class. A stiffer, bias-ply tire works better in the slower classes. And even if you are running the faster classes you will find that you will have to inflate the radials at a level equal to or higher than you would run the same tire on a farm tractor. This is to counter the softer sidewall which causes lower drawbar heights and also to counter the tendency of some radials to "hop" when the speed is turned on them. Hope this helps. Mike
