    I find firestones are the worst crap going. agri max are a very good tyre. how long do you think they will be on the tractor for? if they will be worn in 5 years get the agrimax but if you expect them to stay on the tractor for the next 20 years get the good year. I had good years on a tractor for nearly 15 years, when they came off the side walls were still like new. new crack or a bit.

    Put new Dunlop on a tractor almost ten years ago. Still more than half thread left. BUT hate them with a vengeance. Very hard on ground. Cut up the field much more than either Michelin or Goodyear. Just took them off and put on a wide set of low profile Verdestein, which seem a lot better.

    either go for the top of the range or the bottom. personally if i was keeping the tractor long term go for michelins and for a shorter keep agrimax. Goodyears last i heard have exited the agri market and for the last while have zero backup where michelins especelly have excellent aftersales, but the cheaper ones your on your own.
