In Reply to: Tire suggestions for farm pickup posted by redgreen on November 25, 2015 at 04:10:36:

Might go look at reviews on them at tire rack, or other sites with reviews. My experience with Cooper is that they have a decent tire, but usually do not wear well. Last year i was in market for a set of winter tires for my driver (car) and bought a set based on reviews. I was extremely pleased and reviews were right on and I went from a car that would not move on level ground in snow, to one that seems like it will go until it high centers. I found out that all season tires for the most part in snow are a joke, and now I run all season tires during spring/summer/fall, and swap to a full on directional tread winter about Thanksgiving and swap back end of February. I am a bit surprised from some comments talking about tickets for running a certain load range tire on a pickup. I might see that if the truck was licensed commercial. I know some cringe, but I run a p rated (passenger rated) tire on my 1/2 ton extended cab, and pull a trailer. As a matter of fact I towed a flat trailer into a MO Highway Patrol facility for a VIN verification with another pickup on the trailer. They never gave my truck, tires, or the fact my truck had 6,000 lb local farm plates on it a second glance, and they simply looked at the truck VIN on the trailer, filled in the paperwork and sent me on my way. I always had arguments with my father on his insistence of running a heavy tire and inflating the tires to maximum inflation marked on the sidewall. He would never understand that the load and inflation was for max load, and never understood why his tires failed long before the tread wore out. His truck always rode like it was on steel. I have been known to run as little as 12 PSI on an unloaded pickup (I used to run a 10- 15 tire) and never had an issue with tire failures. I still drop the pressure until I load the truck, then I may put up to 45 PSI in (with loaded trailer). I see a lot of people who seem to think they need to have a 3/4 or ton truck, with load range E tires, but never haul anything with them.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o ... [Read Article]
