I was looking at the same tires a few months ago. It was either 6 ply Firestone's, 8 ply Westlake's or the BKT tires.
The BKT dealer told me that there was no warranty on the tire. Once it was on the rim, it was your problem. Talked to some body else who tried 8 ply Westlake's on the front end of a loader tractor, and they ended up blowing out. Ended up going with the Firestone's. They easily handle whatever weight I put on them without issue.(can lift around 3000+ lbs) I've had one on the other side for a few years and it's never caused any trouble. Cost was about $250 for the Westlake/BKT vs $360 for the Firestone.
I have 16.9 x 30 Westlakes on the back of the same loader tractor, and they're doing fine. By what the other guy was saying , they can't handle the weight.
