One of the best old tires I can remember was a set dad had on an old MH 44 diesel, I think they were Firestone Super Torker tires. Those tires wound dig in and get traction like no other tire I ever seen. They would clean they self so easy even in mud. I fact I can remember only one time that tractor got stuck and had to be pulled out. Worst us the Firestone 151 field & road 23* tread that if they spun at all they turned to slicks and the tractor was stuck, But they were the best tires for the hay field as they didn't mark up the field or damage the hay.
I guess the worst thing for any tractor tire is speed on the road, I knew one old guy that none of his tractors were ever in road gear on the road, He just eased down the road. He use to say the road eat tires running fast and running them slower don't bother them. There must be something to it cause he never bought tires from being wore out just ruined by running over junk.
My dad always said that I was funny about tires, And I guess I am. On a 1 ton truck I want a good open hi-way tread on the front and the back get some good hi traction tires on it, Ware them down and make wagon tire out of them. On the farm a ton truck is useless to me with hi-way tread all the way around, They get stuck to easy. When I want to go I go any ware I want to go. I got these just before the snow flew last fall.

Yup, ask it how it feels. Now, as with the other articles in this series one has to be able to hear what 'ole blue' is trying to say in response. The nice thing about our old iron friends is that they are usually quite consistent in their response, rather unlike some people I know who might change what they say due to the weather or other mitigating circumstances. But since t
