I'm with 4020 on this, I bought a rear tire and wheel on a tractor with excellant tire on rusted rim for $50 at the local junk yard and the owner even helped me take it off and load it. (Fluid) It's on a tractor right now but, I have new rims to replace it. I'm wondering if the tube still holds air whether to replace it or go ahead and use it without fluid. I will have the hub to sell, give away or junk when I get around to it. ohfred
 
Another good place for cheap rubber is a tire sales place. We have a guy next door to our shop that sells all types of tires and he always has some nice used tractor tires in his lot. I have run them to a local auction for him in the past to sell them for him. The tire dealers have to pay to dump them just like anyone else... in PA anyway... So anything he can get for them is better than paying to have them removed from his space. The auction require that you pay a disposal fee when you drop them off at the auction but if they sell for even a buck you get the deposit back.

Often times they are fresh rubber that has been used on the highway and maybe only a year or two old. (Not dry rotted or cracked up...) He does a lot of tires for local township and local gas company tractors etc. that see a good bit of highway travel.

Right now he probably has four or five sets in there... some of which most anyone pulling would love to have them. Saw a pair of 23 degree Firestones in there this weekend with about half inch left at the lowest points.
