I have really have seen very few times when I thought radial tires where worth the price on 2 wheel drive tractors. In order to get the value of the radial it needs to be run low pressure which requires leaving the tractor light wieght. But this usually means that the tractor is too light to get enough traction. Radials work good on FWA or 4WD tractors but not often on 2WD.
Another point is that radials eat tubes, especially if the tire is loaded with ballast. Rusty needs to make sure the Coop has "severe service" tube on board to put in and it will help a bunch. What I have seen and wouldn't believed if told was putting calcium chloride in a tubeless tire. Took one apart this spring that had been mounted 7 years and expected the rim to be rusted through. Not a sign of rust. The liquid has to cover the rim so no air touches metal and it worked. Still a waste of a radial tire but didn't have trouble with tube pinching.
