I'm going to buy a complete set of tires for my tractor.
Options are Firestones or the local Co-op brand, Agri Master. The Firestones are $104.00 more. Are they worth more?

Of the two, I'd go with Firestone, no questions. (have some of each) But you only have 2 choices? Most dealers can get more than that, even if those are their "usual" brands. Local tire shop can get 4 or 5 brands that I know of. Opions vary, but Titan is my first choice.

I bought a set of chinese 18.4x38 two years ago. The tread is already separating. I'd buy firestones or Titans.

The Agrimaster are a Chinese import. Depending on what you are using the tractor for and what your opinions are of using Chinese goods, they might fit the need. If you are going to use the tractor hard or road it, I would spend the extra on the Firestones. I personally would pay the extra for the Firestones just because I don't like buying Chinese when I can avoid it.

Firestone is a japanese company (bridgestone) and has been for about 20-25 years If I remember right.

Yes Firestone was bought by Bridgestone after the 500 mess which was quite a while ago. They operate pretty much as an independent company and the FARM tires are all made in the US by union workers. The quality is as good as you are going to get which means there will be some problems.

Chinese vs Japanese is a big difference. Japan has pretty good quality standards, and China is severely lax on that same subject.

The Chinese are probably figuring out how to put lead in their tires so we can contaminate our fields.
