I recently spent an inordinate amount of time searching for non-ag 6-12s and even considered 6.00-12s (which fit the same rim but have different profile).

The was only one other option, a knobby style with a rounded profile.

I bought the Firestones and I’m very satisfied.

@Kelsey HE @WHX?? has a set of 6.00 12 ags listed in big show sell thread you might be interested in.

I do like those Firestones but yes they are pricey. I found a set cheap of originals at the BS but got them home and realized they were mismatched thread pattern. Not a big deal and if anybody said anything I would tell them to buy me some at Miller's. Mighta given them to @Achto??? 

@Pullstart had a set I used on a 701 resto that weren't great but again anyone says anything. Used ones might be out there. 

 

If you run chains a cheap set of turfs might be OK??

 

Can you tube the ones you have or are they too far gone?

Did you get the ones from Miller Don? If so how old are they? Do they show signs of sidewall cracking? 

I guess I'm asking 'cause I bought a set of the knock off Firestone tri-ribs fronts used from a member here for a nice discount. They were like new with nubbies yet. Within a few years they sidewall cracked and never would hold air without tubes. 

Makes me wonder if the repros from Miller have a less than quality rubber compound. 

The repro Firestone turf glide branded ones on the front of that 701 also came from Miller so we'll see.

Although rare to find , i was lucky to get two General 6/12s with wheels at the Portland, Indiana Tri-State Engine Club swap meet in May.  
 

The rubber on these is  like new.  
 

 

 $120.    Of course i had just purchased two new Carlisle Tru-Power  6/12s. For $250 ! 

 

There are still some tire deals out there!
