    Just wondering if anybody had to buy a few during the silage season and if prices are any better since crude oil dropped?

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    Don't know but neighbour gave around 1800 for two back tires for a massey 5455 there recently. Wouldn't exactly call that cheap!

    No Blue dearer than ever.
    Shopping for a pair of Michelin 710/70/42 and they are in the €3100/tyre kinda range. (Plus vat).

    They do wear out though.
    Get about 3400 hours work out of them.

    Brother gave €2500 for back tyres for the 5140 , not sure on the size but they're bigger than the usual size for that tractor anyhow. Think agrimax is the brand

    More sidewall to collapse =longer foot print = much more contact= better grip at lower psi's

    Budget brand. Think they are manufactured in India(?).
    I find them good enough value for money.

    Few years ago when I first landed in oz my first job for a farmer was spreading lime in a Spanky new 7930 with 30 hrs on her. 300ha field working off old gps lines that were drove over hundreds of times & I found an old stake. It sliced the back tyre like butter. I really didn't want to call that one in!

    yep 38's are smaller diameter but the '85' in theory means side walls are about 85% height of the width. But they actually stand as tall as 42's iykwim. I'd only trust michies to have sidewalls flexible/strong enough to get toooo creative have 650/85/r38's on the 210r leaves a bigger foot print than 7530(rolling/discing fert tractor) on 800/70/42's albeit narrower so not much use for top work but Really helps to put the power down as not too wide vs more lugs on the ground if you get me. Not sure a 710/85/42 would get under any mud guards?!


    As an aside, Trellebourgs seem to be the common tyre of choice now on all but prime movers as michies are silly expensive to just wear out on roads/yards!
    (think actually owned by same parent company?)

    The price of crude oil takes a long while to impact on anything in Ireland really! I haven't seen much of a price decrease in anything from the plastics/rubber sector. If value for money is the prime motivator here I'd have to recommend going on the hunt for quality 2nd tyres. The export boyos and breakers would be the best place to start but be wary of the usual chancers! We got good 2nd hand set of radial 16.9 r34 goodyears at 40% thread at a very tidy price but they were from a local crowd that were selling due to a bereavement so it wouldn't be a true indicator of the so called "going rate" so I won't bother talking price. I have just always found the price of new quality branded tractor tyres is something I couldn't justify paying. That's just my two cents worth anyways.
