I'm not sure you can buy long bar, short bar tires anymore. When they first came out they were supposed to be a good all around tire, but the road wear sucked. Our best seller was Firestone Traction Field and Roads. The field and road was cheaper tire and not as good, I think the tread depth was shallower and there were not as many bars on the tire. I had some Acurets on my Oliver, they were ok. Titan always had a thinner casing and we had lots of corn stalk problems with them. It seemedif we left them sit out back a year they toughened up and were not quite as bad. The later Goodyears we sold were ok after they went away from the long bar/short bar combination. I do not know how they are now that Titan is making them. There is a formula that you can use to see if radials will pay for themselves. Unfortunatly I have been away from farm tire sales for 9 years and cant remember it now. Perhaps it is still on the Firestone or Michlin website. I would stick with the tire size that came with your tractor. I would never go with R&C unless you are raising rice or cane. Over the 22+ years in the tire business I sold and we installed many full semi loads of Firestone tires. I would recommend them to anyone in the US. I think Firestone only sells the Super AllTraction bias tire now. At the time they came out the told us it was a bias casing with the radial tread installed.
