I've got 11.2x28 tires on my tractor that have seen better days. Maybe 1/4 inch of meat left on them but dry/cracked with a couple chunks missing and a gash in one sidewall. tractor has 5000 hours so it's prolly a safe bet that these are the tires that came on it. Picked up another set of wheels with 12.4x28 with half the tread left and in good shape (just old). Original idea was to mount chains on the 11.2x28's and swap to them in winter and use the 12.4's the rest of the year. Noticed another chunk missing and another hole in the sidewall of the 11.2's today. So,
I guess the chains go on the 12'4's and the others get new shoes.
is the extra inch in width gonna make a major difference in traction (lack of) in snow/ice?
Next question, looking at new tires, there are several brands with all looking the same. 6, 8, and 10ply rating. Do I want a soft (6ply) or hard (10 ply). Conditions are mostly paved or gravel roads and damp to wet (sometimes muddy) access roads and pastures. Someone said that radials wouldn't do me any good unless I constantly adjusted air pressure which is not an option for me.
