Thank You, Darn, I thought you were in OK, not GB, "tyres" LOLNeeds to be a Sat II 23
The sat II
And sat II 23 are 2 different tyres
It's absolutely crazy what is not available here lately. Makes it hard to stay in business when ya can't get product to sell!
I'm thinking by the time he gets shipping, he's gonna be about 5 or 550ish.
But that's a guess. I'm just the mechanic. I don't sell tyres
And @ClodHopper37869 ask for a couple photos to be sent by text or something. I'd hate to have steered you wrong my friend!
There's definitely a difference there. I drive blacktop to and from hay fields. Also have to drive the road to feed hay.
We have some "Farm king" tires on our old Ford County, sits outside all year, they're 15 years old now and still fineBoth of those tires have a ton of road miles on them. I make 500-800 acres of hay as far as 30 miles from home so they get a fair amount of road miles. I do try and minimize trips back home so some equipment stays in the fields as much as possible during hay season (baler and baler tractor are home inside almost every night). But there's still a good bit of running on the blacktop.
The old firestones sat on a parts tractor for a few years in that time so that gave them a few extra years of life.
My guess is those BKTs won't make it thru the winter at -30 degrees and handling bales all winter long. Shame to have 75% tread and the rest of the tire disintegrate. That was the first and only set of "off brand" tires ill own because any savings up front is now lost.
