A friend of mine is looking for a pair of rear tires for his Farmall H. He saw a pair at a tractor pull a couple of years ago that had an unusual tread pattern. The bars or cleats had a crook or wave instead of being straight. The angle of the cleats was the old style, 45 degrees is it? Does anyone know what brand might make this type of tread? Thanks.

Well I would like to thank all who replied. I called my friend and got him to go on line (he is a bit computer shy) and read all your replies. Answered some questions for us, Thanks again. It is possible the tires in question were olderthan we thought.It has been acouple of years since seeing them, and they may have been "painted".

Could have been Good Year Traction Torques. They had a wiggly tread & still made in a couple sizes up until recently. More likely the Good Year that was made even earlier-really a wiggly bar. I forget what they were called-made in the 50's or early 60's. My friend has a set on his H puller. I'll run up and read the sidewalls if you want their names. But they are not made today.

Other one I thought of was the Goodyear DT710. I have them on a JD 4240- excellent traction in snow, but not a good field tire. Would not buy another. New about 10 years ago- no longer available. 45 degree angle, but the bars are in two pieces- each have some angles to them. Poorer traction due to the rounded shoulder- I like a square-shouldered tire with full width on the bar. I want a rear tire to dig into the ground with an aggressive square shoulder and lug. BFG has had some aggressive tires, as well as Armstrong- I guess now they are Titan. Curved lug always seemed to give better traction than the stgraight ones like Goodyear. Had some 23 degree Firestones in the past but they were not all that impressive.

If traction is your game, then try the Michelin Agribib. I also have 23 degree Firestone radials, and they wear very well, ride smooth, and pull good on harder surfaces. They probably don't pull as much in wet ground, but they are not intended to. I also have a set of Titan's. They pull really good, and seem to wear fairly well, but are the poorest casings I have ever seen. First and last set. The same as the old Armstrong casings, which simply rot away before they wear out. None of need worry about a poor Goodyear farm tire anymore; they sold the farm tire division to Titan last winter. The Dyna Torque II was the roughest riding, poorest wearing tire I've ever run. My last set will be coming off next year, and probably Agribib's going on in their place. Take care.

Sounds like the Goodyear Traction Torque.

They are likely old originals that are no longer available. My uncle has an old John Deere M that has the 45 degree wavy tread tires on them, they date to the 50's.
If anybody would have them it would be Miller Tire.

Nope, these were new tires, or pretty new, not more than maybe 5 years old. I saw them from a distance too, looked like new tires to me too.

Could they have been old tires treated with black tire paint. That is some good stuff. If they were new, did they have nice sharp edges.

I'm not doubting you, just haven't seen new tires like that before. If you find them I sure would like to know, they look nice.

I wish someone would make the old style rounded connected-tread rice tires.
