Does anyone have the measurements on the BKT TR-315 23x10.5-12 mounted on 8-8.5" wide rims?  

[HyperPete 885]

I have the AGs, but I'll be South of Cancun until Saturday night, so I can't get measurements until then.

Here are some photos of them along with Carlisle turfs from January, before mounting..

I have some too but not mounted so I can't give an accurate size after inflation

[AlexR 2,207]

Yeah I just wanted measurements to compare them to the deestones. It seems like they are in-between the true measurement the tru-powers are and the small size the deestones are. 

@HyperPete yeah I don't need the measurements right now but when you get a chance it would be great to have them for this thread.

I wrote up a post back at number 77 about those.

They're definitely a site bigger than the itty bitty Deestones.

If the thread(s) above don't have the measurements, I'll have them Sunday.

Cheers & beers!

These tires are 18x9.50-8. The rims are an inch wider than standard "wide" front wheels. 

 

I believe these front tires are available again

Here we have some BKT TR315 Trencher/Agricultural tires. 

23 x 10.50 x 12

 

I don't have these mounted yet. They measure 21 3/4" x 9 1/2" as setting. They'll definitely grow some with the rated 20 lbs air pressure. 

 

4 ply. 

 

These are available online for anywhere from $90 to $120 each all year. I paid $80 each on a sale. November 2024. 

 

 

I believe these will be excellent for our particular usage. I like a slightly heavier duty tire than most. These have a good aggressive sharp square edged full width bar 45⁰ ish AG tread which should self clean nicely and also retain decent ride quality for those who like a smoother tire. 

 

 

My usage is on mid 70s C Series. Stock size was 8.5 wide. The added couple inches MAY cause clearance issues with Automatics. Spacers solve that.

They look nice!

Mowed 3acres of foot high wet grass yesterday, these tires self clean extremely well. The old turfs would accumulate a thick belt of cut grass, these tires did pickup grass but accelating briefly it threw it off. Great tires

These are 26x12x12 Hercules 8ply Traction Masters, the absolute hardest tires ive ever mounted in my life, if not for having the front loader to force the rims into the tires, then to push the tire down below the bead, there's no way i could have done it. Inflated height us 26", width is 11.5",

Inflated

 

You could definitely run those with 0 air pressure. Mebbe give em a hair more flexxeeness.

They are definitely stiff🤣

They come in other sizes like the normal 23-10.50?

Looks like 26x12x12 is the smallest the offer in that line.  Ive always been a little disappointed with the offerings in 23x10.50-12, plenty of turf tires, lots of chinese ags, but limited on unique tread designs

I am looking for one good used Goodyear tire like the one in photos.  I would like to save this one but it has a lot of cracks after 67 years of use!

 

First pick is of the one i saved from ghe pair!

 

Miller tire paint can only do so much with an old tire!
 

Let me know if you have one to sell with or wothout wheel! !
