Tires

I'm going to replace the rear tires on my oliver 1900 soon and I need some advice. The current tires are safe marks' and the rear left is a recap and is falling a part. The right rear has several DEEP cracks, one big enough to hide 3 quarters in. I've been looking at Firestone and Goodyear/Titan R2 raidels which is what is the type of tire thats on the tractor. The size is 23.1-26. The tractor weighs 16,665+/-2 ( fully weighted)and once I get the remote hydros working it will be pulling disks, shredders, seed drills and it is already moving round bales. What brand( Firestone and Goodyear/Titan)will handle what the tractor is/will be doing?

All brands of tires will handle the job or the companies would not make the tire.

It all comes down to your own preference as to which one you want.

I would go with Firestone.Over the years I have found that Firestone tires tend to hold up better.

As Gary said either one will hold up good and do the job. The feed back I get from customers is that the Firestone will pull better than Goodyear. I have told that they have taken off Firestone Radials and put on Goodyear Radials and couldn't pull as much with the new tires.

Firestone or Michelin if you're buying a radial.
In bias, GoodYear DynaTorque II's have been OK for us.
I will never own another Titan unless there is absolutely nothing else available.
