I"ve gotta disagree with the others on the Armstrong/Titans. We"ve got a 1755 Oliver parked out back with a bad engine that"s got Armstrongs on it. They"ve been sitting in the sun for 3-4 years straight and the tires still look the same as they did 7 years ago. They do have some weather checking, but it"s not bad at all. I"ve seen much worse on newer Goodyears. We Also put a pair of Titan"s on our 165 Massey about 4-5 years ago and they still look fine. We took off a pair of Firestone Feild & Roads off because about 6-7 years earlier my brothers ran over an old disk in the weeds that they didn"t see. The disk cut a slice in the tire, but it took a while for it to actually split all the way through. The Titan"s have a ton more traction than the F&R"s. No hop on the road either, unless the tractor"s been parked for a while and they get a flat spot. While it"s true the Firestone"s may last longer, if it"s parked in a shed chances are the tires will last longer than you have the tractor.
Just wondering- Why do the current tires need to be replaced? As long as they still hold air and have a fair amount of traction, run "em, IMHO.

Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
