Hi Kent, I've had a few sets of Galaxy/Primex tires. They're cheap, and they tend to wear rather quickly on hard surfaces.... but they are a good tire. Good casings, and probably the best value cheap tire out there. Firestones have always been good to me, give little trouble, and wear pretty good. GoodYears have good casings, and poor lugs. They wear bad, pull poorly, and shake your tractor to pieces on hard surfaces. Long bar/ short bar tires are a devil for that. Titan power grips will pull really well for a long bar/short bar tire, but as far as I'm concerned, they are just one rotten cheap tire. I've had blowouts with them, and with the old Armstrongs (Titan used to be Armstrong), and the casings are just plain poor on both. I will never buy a set. General is another that I would steer clear of. If you were looking for a value brand radial,then I would look at BFG. They are made by Michelin, look like an AgriBib, but are somewhat cheaper. If you're going to wear the tire out before it rots out, look at the radial because you get a lot more lug, and a lot more life, so in the end, the extra cost turns into a saving. I don't know anything about the Continental tire you mentioned, other than I had a few small impliment tires from them that were probably on par with the other makes in that size. That's not saying much, as I can't get one that lasts more than a few years.... Anyhow, good luck on the purchase. Rod
