We keep 26 x 12 - 12 23 x 10.50 - 12 23 x 8.50 - 12 We prefer the 5 rib steers, better flotation and good looking BKT 16 x 6.50 - 8 18 x 8.50 - 8 How do the BKT's compare to Firestone 23'? Nice selection of tires!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Have never compared the BKT to any other brands, finding BKT in the right price range, and prefer the more lugs compared to the 23 firestone, our tire dealer handles all brands and is also the Canadian Dealer for Miller Tire.

He suggested the BKT tires when I called to price out 23’ for the 782. May still get the BKT’s then I can compare them to the 23’ NOS I found for my 982. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have not seen good reviews on Deestones- people say they are bigger than the size stamped on the sidewall. I wouldn’t be lured in by the price. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Plow 758 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Just bought a set for my loader. Stand same height as Tru Powers, shorter than Carlisles. Pull well, seem tough enough.....I'm not scared of them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

exSW 1,662 Posted April 7 Author Share Posted April 7 I have to say. These Deestone tires dig. Had the tiller all the way in pulling a slight slope and and the Mag 18 was grunting. As to size they just fit with 8.5 rims. Also the Super Steer front with the tiller is slick! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

clarkw 0 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Hello all. I have a 682 and want to change the original 23x10.50-12 turf tires to a bar tire. I see others that run a 26x12-12 size and wondered if you had to change the rim and how the cut was effected with a taller tire. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But I also put a super steer front axle in mine which raised the whole tractor about 2". If it hadn't been for that I don't think I'd have messed with 26's. I kept the 8.5" rim and have got by so far. But I'd use 10" ones if I had them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
