While they CAN be found, it seemed that most places I called were out of them or they were back ordered indefinitely. I found a few places that had some used ones. Just curious....is there really a "lack of supply" on Turf Tires, or was it just coincidental to the places I called? [Reply]   [No Email]

Quite often you need to go to china made tires... Galaxy/Primex, Mitas, etc are suppliers to try for oddball sizes today. Also try a size up or a size down in width... provided it's not a FWD tractor. If it is, more study will be needed on sizing. Rod [Reply]  [No Email]

(There was a guy in OH selling a pair of Denmans for $200 or so which seemed like a great deal). http://tirebargains.com/industrial-tractorr3tires-ohio If you're not near Ohio shipping may kill you, but maybe this helps.

No shortage of demand for those tires especially in farm country. Are you really looking for R3 13.5 X 28 or are you mistaken and really wanted R3 13.6 x 28. Funny none of the tire dealers you called caught that. I would think that place in Kansas and Nebraska would both have those tires. I think one is nebraska tire and the other is tire city or tire town. The one in kansas sells blems so if you can do without a perfect looking tire and a sound blem will do you might check them out. I have never used either place but have seen their sites on the web. [Reply]  [No Email]
