The last time I priced a set of Michelin's they were handy 1350 per tire. That was last fall. I'd expect them to be up some now. Bias used to be about 60% of that. Firesone 23 degree radials are somewhat less than the Michelin (AgriBib). If you're running tires off in 900 hours, radials will pay you. If you're working mostly on dry hard surfaces, a Firestone 23 degree will probably be best. If you're in conditions that require an R-1W deep tread, go with the Michelin. The Michelin will ride better on black top too. They have less 'lope', and the deep tread should wear a lot longer. The downside of the Michelin is that it will struggle for traction on a hard surface due to tread flex... and they can RIP and TEAR whatever is under them. I'd also suggest that you lose the fluid unless you absolutely need it for counterweight. Radials, tubes and fluid don't mix well. The valve stems become the victim in a hard pull.
