Tri-rib tires?

Recommended Posts

psychocontractorguy

I'm redoing a 1969 Raider 12 I bought recently, and I want to put some tri-ribs on the front of this thing. I've found some 4.00x8 tires cheap, and the rims measure 3.75" inside the beads. Will these tires work on my rims?

yes they sound like the narrow rims, they should work fine. heres how the Deestone D401 4.00-8 tires look mounted if you are interested......

Martin-

I plan to use these tri-ribs on a tractor that will not be a mower, rather just for snow removal via a blade or a thrower. Is this the best solution?

I've got a few sets of them on my tractors, none are workers, but i can't see why the tri ribs wouldn't work well in the snow. i know I've heard others happy with them in the snow.

 

ive also heard that the Vredestein v61 tires are great in the snow as well. i got a set of these for my 416-8 I'm building right now. the guys over at weekendfreedommachines.com (JD forum) swear by them......
