Questions & Answers
I was given the number six. 00 - The advertised number of people was 16.
There are four of these on my Massey Ferguson. I don't know if 4" will work on 5" wide front rims, but auto hobby racers frequently use wider tires on narrow rims. During cornering, the tire sidewall simply flexes more. br>Aside from that, I'm quite pleased with these standard tires.
A diameter of 16 inches a tread pattern that is 6 inches wide
This tire has a 29-inch overall diameter. Thank you
Selected User Reviews For Carlisle Farm Specialist Tractor Tire -600-16
These are excellent tires that will serve you well in most situations. It was also simple to put them together. I adore the fact that they are made in the United States. The only complaint I have is that they do not have a high enough load rating to be used with my 43 hp tractor's front end loader. It was my fault for not conducting thorough research prior to making a purchase. These are only rated for 6 ply, which corresponds to load range C. When I fill the loader bucket with something heavy like sand or rock, even with the tires inflated to their maximum pressure of 52 psi, they are still squishy and squirrely. They are simply unfit for the job and lack confidence. I wish I had been able to locate some 8 ply or, better yet, 10 ply rated tires. I would have given these five stars if I didn't use my tractor's loader as much or as hard as I do.
I'm a big fan of Made in America products. These are shown mounted on my 1949 Farmall M, which I've had for about 5 months and have had no problems with. My loader doesn't lift a lot of weight, maybe 600 lbs, so there aren't any issues, as mentioned in another review. Used for field mowing, loader work, and a few trips up and down the highway. 4 miles. I'll most likely be purchasing another set for my other Farmall M in the near future.
I've had no problems with them in the years since I installed them. I've even run them a lot on the road, from field to field, and they're still in great shape. I would recommend replacing the tubes at the same time because dry rot near the valve stem can occur.
The rubber on the tire is soft and pliable and appears to last a long time; however, it's not like this tire does a lot of miles, so only time will tell.
From a company I frequently use for trailer tires, I got a nice replacement tire for my vintage tractor.
I had no trouble putting it on and tubed it. It appears to be in good working order. I've been using it in the field for several hours and haven't had any leaks or holes. Although it is not a steal ply, it appears to deflect sharp objects in the fields. I also use this tractor to mow, so I've already put in a lot of time with it.
We'll see if they get a 5 in a few years because of the price. They are attractive and simple to install.
It is less expensive to purchase these items separately than it is to purchase the tube and tire kits that other sellers offer.
