Carlisle or harvest king front tires?

moresmoke · Jan 25, 2021

Title pretty much covered it. I am in need of a pair of 4.00-15 front tires. It seems Harvest King or Carlisle are the two options. Tractor will only see
show/pull use, no field work. Looking for opinions/experience.

They say car listle is good but ive not good luck with em

I've had better luck with Harvest King tires. Carlisle tires I've had were out of round and dry cracked bad within a year.

Am I crazy or was this subject gone over on this forum within the past two weeks or so? I do believe it was rear tires FWIW but it may be of help to you. Cant exactly recall the answer, but seem to remember as usual there were several guys that had good experiences with both brands. Anyway, try the search function for some more input.

I’ve asked about 3 different times and I was just about to ask again 😂 it’s real money and everytime I ask I get more Answers . Right now I can buy bkt fronts or firestone for about 20$ more a tire I can’t decide whether to get bkt or Firestone .

You have to use modern view . You can search topics on bing by typing in what you want then yesterday’s tractor

Its not the tires as both will last it is finding tubes that hold up and not leak

So what? Rear and fronts are totally different,someone with experience with front tires may have not answered on the rear tire question.No limit to the number of times a question can be asked anyway.

Tubes? Get Firestones as they do not leak!

I have had a set of Carlisle 3 rib front tires on a tractor for 10 years, they are wearing down naturally, but are not cracking bad. Tractors are kept in when not in use

Non of them are what they used to be and most of them don't last or carry the weight good anymore. I use old truck tires where I can and have fewer problems with them. I use whatever is cheapest at the time. I've got Carlisle's, and farm something and some cheap over seas ones with about the same durability. Akurets are junk. I've got a set of them on a tractor that is just a haying and drilling tractor pretty much and it will have the tube get pin holes in them about every year or two. I need to get a different set and sell these. Still have half the tread on them.
I think I would for rear tires either Firestone or radials. I'm not sure I like those titan hilug radials on my brothers tractor though. They have that old 45 degree tread. Fronts I run old truck tires as said and semi tires on wagons if they have the wheels for them.

For a "Trailer Queen" I would buy whatever was the cheapest as long as it's shedded.

Blackhole49 · Jan 26, 2021

I've had good luck with Titans on a couple of mine.

Local has any tire for any vehicle 5th generation tire store uses Korean tubes. Haven't had any problems with the ones he installed in my tires.

I’ve got some BKT fronts on a 3 bottom pull type plow. Been there 3 years and are doing fine. Not exactly strenuous use though.

lugnuts2030 · Jan 26, 2021

I needed a pair of 24.5x32 tires for a older 150hp tractor. I found a Firestone and a Akuret tire that tread closely matched in a combine salvage yard. Both had good tread and in good condition. Put 1000 hours on it in the field and hiway. Both held up well and good for a long time yet.

CenTex Farmall · Jan 26, 2021

I'm getting decent service out of Titan and carlisle. Several friends and relatives have bought odd brand china or india tires only to have them begin cracking within two years. I guess they don't put the chemicals for ozone or UV resistance. Uncle bought a brand from india for 18" haybine tire and after two years it looked as bad as the one it replaced.

SVcummins · Jan 26, 2021

I’ve got a set of t!t an three year old cracked along the center rib on both . I’ve got a bkt with at least 15000 road miles and it’s still going

paul · Jan 26, 2021

I’ve used them on a rear compact loader tractor, like them.

Haven’t used the brand on fronts tho.

I think we all need to look to the future tho, rumor is tires are getting in tight supply not much in the warehouses. Strange work environments, strange shipping patterns going on.....

Maybe buying what you find now is way smarter that thinking it over 2 months and then either no supply or everything up in price?
