I've had good luck with Titans but if your looking for really good tires it's hard to beat Firestones. But you pay for them so it's a toss-up.
 
The cracks are problematic. They indicate poor UV radiation, and Ozone protection in the compound. You might want to check the toe-in on the tractor to assure the wear is correctly earned. With the wheel up in the air use a nail in a board to scratch a line on the circumference, near the center of the tread. Do this on both tires. Drive it forward in soft soil and shut the tractor off while in gear to load the steering and uprights as they would be in the field. Measure between the two scribe lines at the front of the tire, and at the back. the front should be closer by maybe 1/8th inch. (there may be a specification!!) Jim
 
Thanks Jim there Is a specification. I had to reset it most of the wear Is not earned and I didnt ketch it in time so I really dont blame that all on the tire . But they are cracking bad for being so young on the sidewalls. Ive got 50 year old tires that dont look much worse then the new ones
 
I really the Firestone and I was going to get them for the 4020 but at 1750.00 per tire I couldnt swallow that on two of em . So I bought cheaper hopefully theyll last a few years longer than the Aliance rears on my 3020 a

I don't suppose those whopper loads you show lifting with the front end loader would have anything to do with the shortened life in the tires? Naw Not a bit. The cracks and short life on loader tires is why we run old pickup tires on there. Tires just will not last long on front ends of loader tractors. They all get over loaded and abused.
 
See where the paint is missing at the bottom of the lug bolt hole in that semi circle looking pattern.
That is where the rim is cracking. Each hole will get half circle crack there.
I know, I have had it happen.
 
Simple solution--Don't use the tractor so much--You work too hard--Find a buddy and have a few beers and watch the LADIES---Tee
 
Grew up running steel wheeled tractors (R's), it was a glorious day when the rubber tired 820 arrived. Nothing like running over plowed ground with steel wheels.
 

Walked by the trailer yesterday and found a blown tire. Titan hi-run 235/80r16 which had 80 psi in it.

I hope theyll at least make 4 years
 
Truck tires do last forever but I hate em . Had one on the 4020 for about 25 years . As much roading as I do I guess I should run em . But we have other three ribs that last fine
 
Its not the tires fault. You are seriously toed in could even be camber is out on the spindles. Plus with it out like that you would see the problem without a tape measure.
 
F2 front tractor tires in particular seem to have this problem. Seen it across different brands. Seems to have to do with most of the weight being on the center rib.

Had great luck so far with this type of front tire, think it's a F-2M. For the price though .....

I believe that tire is about 14 years old. I had replaced the two on that side when I rolled it on its side when I first got that backhoe and tried to haul it. Unless I had moved one of the new ones to the other side and then it might be around 20 years old. I cut the fender off after it got bent up.
 
(quoted from post at 01:19:06 06/03/21) The toe is set at 1/8 inch . Tie rods are tight spindles are tight

Are you positive you're reading tape measure correctly?? Back yrs ago I've set toe-in on many tractors that the frt tires didn't show that type of extreme wear.

I'd be inclined to think that it is more of a camber issue than toe-in. With a loader tractor I'd do all the measurements with and without an empty bucket to see what the changes are.
 
I am going to check again . Most of the wear came from
before I reset the toe in . I got looking one day and the front
wheels you could see wasnt right they were almost 2 inches
out of spec . And The wear came from before I had a loader
on . . I had that problem one other time on my other tractor
when I broke a tie rod up on a hill and I didnt get it set right
headed home and in about 5 miles the wheel was falling off I
had it set so far out it pulled the threads out of the hub

I was never fussy for truck tires on the front of a 2wd tractor for steering . The three rib tractor dig in and steer much better .
Wondering what the toe-in measurement is loaded vs not loaded?
 
Just going to have to grab the tape measure and recheck
everything. I had it set at an 1/8 but that was before the loader
too and Ive never rechecked it either
 
Jim this is the first time Ive ever used a tape on one but it
www eating tires so bad I decided Id do it by the book. My
4020 I just eyeball
