I wouldn't give it quite so harsh a review as Dave. When I replaced front tires on my Kubota, I let
my wife take the tires to the dealer. When they asked her if she wanted them polyfilled, she thought
they asked if she wanted them filled and said yes. $80 tires suddently became $170 apiece! When I asked
about the bill being so high, they said she had requested it. Then I asked what polyfill was, and they
laughed and offered to split the difference with me. On the functionality side, I do notice a difference.
Although they are indistructable, the ride is much stiffer. However, the extra weight is better on the
hillsides that I have to work on (I never have to go fast on this tractor). Overall, I would recommend
them for functionality, but not for cost.
