3-rib or 4-rib front tires?

I could do an experiment on our 1855 if I was feeling really motivated to swap tires around... We've got 3 tri-rib and 2 quad-ribs all on the same rims from our 1855, 1755, and a spair I picked up when I traded a smaller 7.50-16 w/ another guy on this board.
I just did out a pair of the tri-ribs on our 285 though because the quad-rib 10.00-16's were bald and the 1755 was dead on 2 good fronts.

Sorry, got rambling again...

Any way. I could put the pair of quads on the 1855 in the spring, do some feildwork, then I could go back the the tri's and see if there is any difference. Trouble is, it's alomst impossible to find a 3-rib 11L-15 anymore (if one would go kablewy) w/out special ordering it, same thing with most front tires. Some are just easier to come by. Right now the 1855 has one of each.

However, nothin' "bites" or "tracks" like a tri-rib.

Those "fatties" are going to see the business end of the city dump. I just can't stand the things and how they make the tractor "behave".

'Spose they might be okay for front-hang loader work, but not for me.

We all do things differently from one another. I'm not really sold on radial rear tires either. They just might have to take a trip to the burn pile as well. :>)

Can you really say that was the tires? I've never seen a diesel yet that would pull worth a darn when new.

Don't ya think? They are just plain "doggy" right out of the box. :>)
