We use them in West Point, great place to do business with. We have them rerim loader rims, they cut the center of the wheel out and computerize weld the old center in a new rim. They are always busy.

Those are irrigation tires. Not designed for hard pulling.

It looks like they do tracks and there is generic mention of "radial tires" too. But it looks like their primary business is in recapping center pivot tires.

The question remains, what do you do while the tires are being recapped? Tractor's up on blocks, out of commission, possibly for weeks. It's not like most have a second set of tires laying around that they can slap on and continue running.

Plus it doesn't work on old tires, so that leaves out the whole antique tractor crowd.

It's really only viable for a tractor that does a lot of road work and goes through tires every year or so. Have two sets, one on the tractor and the other being recapped. But, you're still going to have to buy new tires every 6 years or so when the carcasses become to hard and stiff to recap.

I?ve got a set of good year radials on my tractor right now that
are over 12 years old the carcass are still good . I don?t know
if the cost would be worth it to have them recapped but with a
radial tire the same size costing over 1600$ dollars a tire I
think it could be a good option unless they charge 1599.00 to
do the recap .

How is we recap and relug tracks and radial tires generic ?
And since when can?t a old tractor run radial tires will the
correct police issue a warrant for your arrest if you are caught
running anything but bias ply ?

You may want to call them to see if they actually recap tractor tires. Looks like all they are doing is putting an ag tread on a semi tire casing. Plus the note below the picture that mentions 11R22.5 and 11R24.5 is kind of a giveaway.

I am going to call and see maybe they don?t do big tires and
maybe the price is 95% of what a new tire Is anyway,
