Tire Traction

Pitch · Nov 2, 2008

Just an out of curiosity question without it turning into a majorly technical discusion. I see that a lot of yuppie tractors being sold with industrial tires on them.
On a scale of 1 to 10, if a turf tire is a 2 on the traction scale and an ag tire is an 8, where would the industrial tread come in at?

About 6.5 or7 on traction 9 or 10 on flotation because they are wider than R1 tires.And 10 or 11 on puncture resistance because most of them are 10 ply tires plus they look better.

just a little did ya know,,,a test showed that a radial tire had better traction then a set of bias ply duals,....

They might have almost the same forword tracion as ag tires but if you are using them on a HILL SIDE as in WV you had better stick with AG tires as they will NOT stick on side of hill AND WILL GET YOU KILLED .
