Any of you recommend a good place to get 4 wheels and tires? I would like to have them mounted and shipped to me if possible.

Wheels and tires for what?
 

I guess what is good info.

I need 2 30x15 power adjust
2 6x16 6 hole
2 16.9-30
2 7.50-16

These will be going on a 72 Ford 4000
 
Heywheel will sell you airplane tires on wheels or rims depending on the size. For rear tractor tires most any tire dealer that has tractor tires will sell them mounted to you. You will have to specify the style rim/wheel you need for that particular application. Bolt pattern and number of holes and such. Heywheel has a good diagram for bolt patterns with explanation of how to measure them. Heywheel.com is the website for them.
 
What size? For what?There are a bazillion sizes from wheel barrows,to huge tractor .....Gensco sells airplane tires mounted on agricultural wheels. Other than that,the best place
would be LOCAL.Unless it's free frieght,the frieght would be a deal breaker.
 

1800noflats will see you 28 ply aircraft tires, on rims for the fronts.. Or order your rims off of this site, ebay, amazon for the fronts... there are lots of front rims out there. Now the rear.. power adjust, 30 inch... 15 inchs wide... I guessing you have the z bars on the rims and you have 6 z bars or do you have 5 z-bars???????... They are out there but harder to find.

Freight is a killer on bigger tires.

Locally we have a farm coop, and 2 private tire companies, one aims for cars and small trucks, other aims for truck fleets and bigger stuff. All three work with tractor
tires, have to see who has what and what deals of the month.

Couple towns over is NTS, they do ship and wheel and deal with ag tires in a huge way. Just picked up a couple FWA tires from them last week. You might want to
check them out just for reference. NTS.

Becoming a shortage of tires, including ag tires, right now, so be kinda sitting down when you see prices and what little is available......

I'd call HARRY'S FARM TIRE SERVICE in WHEATLAND, IOWA. They probably have the rims/wheels and for sure
have the tires. Google them for a phone number.

So you want two 16.9-30 rear tires on 30x15 power adjust rims.
And two 7.50-16 front tires on 6x16, 6 hole rims.

No idea why some respondents think you are wanting airplane tires.

Come-on Double07, are you serious? It is hard to find an Ag publication that doesn't have an ad for used aircraft tires. They are attractive for their resistance to puncturing.

Sorry but I did not see where he was wanting aircraft tires.
Honest, I didn't.
Do the sizes needed indicate that they are aircraft tires?
Or is there a post early on in the thread that got deleted?
Serious, I would like to know as it is a mystery to me.
Thanks in advance.

My observation was that someone just threw out the option of aircraft tires, probably because they are known to be a good value, and others just acknowledged that possibility.
 
Well when he originally posted there was no size nor other information to go on so threw out what was different options. I just looked at Heywheels site and they have power adjust wheels /rims the size I did not check sizes.
As for the Gensco Tires I have had mixed resulte with their tire set ups. One set was a bit low apparently after setting through the winter. Had to change the tire as it was pushed off the bead in the field. Another time one blew the beads over the wheel and ruined the wheel and tire. They did replace both issues with no problems so can't complain except for the inconvenience during harvest time. In talking to both of them I liked dealing with both though Heywheel has the edge there.
