Implement tire question

Kansas4010 · Oct 1, 2021

I'm fixing up an old Krause disc and the tires are shot. It had E78-14 tires on it. Near as I can find that converts to 195 75 14. I would prefer using an implement tire however. I found 8.5L-14 implement tires but can't find any specs for them. I'm guessing they are slightly wider but can't find any mention of height. Anyone happen to know the difference?

To be honest, the best thing you could do is find some 15 inch rims. You will have A LOT more options.

I recently had a tire on my 14k implement trailer go bad. Tire barn sold me 4 new tires mounted, balanced, sales tax put the door for around $325.

I'm too old to change tires myself .

My tires were 10 years old. Replaced all 4

That's a picture of the good tire. The only one with still legible writing I can read the size on. They already have tubes and there are literally chunks of rubber peeling off.

I needed new tires on my small I-H disc last year. I have a small enclosed trailer with 14 inch tires that is over ten years old. So I brought new for the trailer and mounted the old tires with tupes on the disc. The tires were a little shorter than what was on the disc but the disc still was plenty high enough when lifted up which is the only thing I thought would matter.

50 years ago local IH dealer sold a lot of Gehl 5 ton wagons with 14",5 bolt wheels and mounted used tires from big luxury cars . To replace them I use 9.5Lx14" implement ($63 at local dealer ). They are slightly shorter.

Whats to worry you have 3 others on here to run. LOL I would look for either some 15or 16 inch wheels or look for some more old car tires in a similar size. It will be hard to beat those old nylon tires for durability over time. These newer radials just rot off in a few years.
