I am in need of new 9.5-24 tires for the front of a mfwd loader tractor. I have two options for tires.
Option 1: American made Firestone tires in a 6 ply rating good for 1870lbs.
Option 2: Chinese/India made BKT/???? 8 ply tires rated for 2400lbs.
I know the 8 ply tires and their extra 1000lbs of capacity would be ideal with the loader but I'm not sold on the import tires just yet.
What are your guys opinions/experiences on US vs Overseas rubber?
