15.5 x 38 Good year Dyna tourque II

has any one pulled a tractor with 15.5 x 38 good year dyna torque II on it. If so does your tractor shake and do they pull good or have you had problems with them. Any information you have is great. Thanks for looking Greg knapp

I am not a tractor puller but I have owned a few sets of Good Year Dyna Torque II tires. I have not found ANY use that they are good at. They road wear terrible. They will NOT clean out in mud and they do not seem to pull worth a darn. I had a set of worn out Firestone Field and Road tires on a JD 5020. It had 24.5 x 32 tires on it. You all know what they cost new. So I found a set off of a combine that had 90% tread on them. I have a farm that is close to a tire shop. The tires where loaded. So I pulled two 400 bushel wagons up to the other farm loaded. I dumped them and unhooked them an then took the tractor to get the tires changed. I came back and got the wagons. I drove home and filled the same two wagons I had just pulled to the farm. There is one pretty good hill on a gravel road. I had always pulled it fine. I spun out three fourths of the way up with the Good Year Dyna Torque II tires on it. The worn out Firestone's pulled better. I thought it might be because of the taller tread not contacting the road as much. So I only filled the back wagon half full the next trip. I made it but really dug my way up the hill. So after that I would just pull them one at a time up the hill.

Fast forward to the next spring. I had a 22 foot JD 235 disk that we always pulled with the JD 5020. I had axle duals on it too. It looked wicked with four 24.5 x 32 tires on it. When I went to the field I had to raise the depth stops as I would spin out with the disk. They where set where we had always pulled the disk. It was the tires.

I limped through the spring and bought two New Firestone 23 degree tires for it. I was able to pull the hill with two loaded wagons the next fall. The fallowing spring I lowered the depth stops back to where we had always used them too.

SO the tires where the issue not tread depth. Since then I only have Good Year Dyna Torque II tires on things that had them when I bought them. If I am going to keep the tractor I sell the Good Year tires and replace them with another brand.
