MinnesotaFarmall Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 I have a new set of 14.9-38 Firestone field and road on my s.m. for pulling. Lots of people say ditch new tires for old women out hard tires. A fella has a set of good year what he thought he remembers as super torques (wavy tread design) he said he would basically give to me if I wanted them. Which one would you choose? Reading online it seems like no one really likes the good years for pulling but I wondered if they would be better for pulling vs my new tires. By the way, I have no trouble with traction, it's the HP I need lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nate Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 If I had a set of those Goodyears I’d give them to you too!! It all depends on track. You don’t want to pile up dirt in front of sled to pull more weight. I would not waste the effort putting on those Goodyears. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-301066460puller Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 Hard tires are better but no to the goodyears 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaseIH Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 Free is free I’d take them. We bought our 400 diesel for the tires to put on my M but got the 400 diesel running and left everything the way it was. The 400 has the Goodyear wavy bars on it and I pull it in 8000lbs class. Would much rather have firestones hands down but again free is free and they can go on another project 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vtfireman85 Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 When I really think about it, I have never had a set of Good Years that I liked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitty Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Watched a mis matched set yesterday, Firestone on left, old tire on the right. Firestone never spun at all despite the only brake applied was the right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tractorholic Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 That seems like a bad idea to have mismatched tires on a pulling tractor. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nepoweshiekfarmalls Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 An old friend of mine preferred old worn down Firestone Deep Tread tires for pulling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure I would too, if I could find them, and after I find them, be able to afford them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
