Hi Guys,
I need to replace the front tires on my Cub and did a little research on the subject last night. Seems most of what's out there are made in India, China or Asia. I'm wondering how well these tires hold up. I bought some Chinese fronts for my other Cub a few years back and they're already cracking in between the tri-ribs. I think those are the East or East West brand junk. This tractor is kept in a shed out of the elements and the tires are always aired up properly. Would like to get some tires that actually hold up for some time. Oh, I realize the cracks aren't a big deal.......but I don't like the look. So wondering how the Harvest King, Deestone, etc hold up. Anybody own them for a few years that could comment? Are there any American tires available? I don't mean American brands that are made in China.......I mean real American made tires.
thanks,
bob

Re: Tire Quality
I think the fronts on my JD 790 are deestones. they are cut up pretty good in a year but the rocks around here will cut any tire. one thing I didnt care for was the side walls were so pressed together. Even the tire shop could not mount them tubeless on 6.00 16 rims, I had to buy tubes to push them out in order to use them. think that had more to do with how they were shipped and stored

better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it...( YES this includes CUBS! )

I bought Carlisle fronts for my Cub from Miller Tire. I put some on my Farmall H 4 years ago and they still look new. Made in USA.

I have read that, too. I read up on them a year or so ago when I needed tires on my camper. Local dealer have them and I went with their radial trailer tires. They were imported but they had good reviews. Very satisfied.

Re: Tire Quality
I put a set of Firestone tires on my Cub's rear. One made in India and the other Argentine. Matching set. Excellent quality.
I have an excuse. CRS.
