VinsRJ 721 #4 Posted October 1, 2010 If you are not looking for a local dealer you can try e-bay or Miller Tire. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KC9KAS 4,741 #7 Posted October 1, 2010 I looked at MILLER Tire, but didn't see any 3 ribs in 16 X 6.50 X 8....guess I didn't look close enough. I will check them out again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,129 #8 Posted October 1, 2010 On the Miller tire website, go to "Front Tractor" on the menu at the left. The tires you're looking for are the fourth one down on the list. They are the only place that offers the Firestone tri-rib in that size and you will pay dearly for them. (get your Vaseline out! ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
massey 111 #9 Posted October 1, 2010 I would have loved to put those on mine but ouch.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ol550 830 #10 Posted October 2, 2010 Not that bad a price if you consider the 3.00-4 tri-rib's are $76 a pair. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,129 #11 Posted October 2, 2010 I never bought any 6.50's, but all of my (narrow) triple-rib tires came from Ewell Tucker at Tucker Tire in TN. Copy & paste this item number at eBay for a "special-priced" pair of 4.00 - 8 tires: 250703807364 If anyone is interested, make sure you ask him if they're Deestones....... he also carries the Green Ball (GBC) version and they aren't as good.

I have one pair of the 6.50 tri ribs, I sold some stuff and said I'm going to buy them, but I could have bought car tires cheaper, it was $170 with shipping, they are VERY COOL but that will be the only set I ever buy, and I agree big time with TT on the Deestones, a much better tire, I have a few set of them.

KC9KAS 4,741 #14 Posted October 4, 2010 My rims are 3.75" wide where the tire bead seals....will a 4.80 X 8 TRI-RIB fit this rim? With an inner tube? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hcminis 1,532 #15 Posted October 4, 2010 Talked to the guy at Tires Unlimited and was quoted $25.00 ea plus $9.00 ea s/h for a set of 3-rib. Number is 800-628-4737 and they were Vredestein V60. Not an expert on tires but thought that was a pretty good deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They do have the 4.00X8 and the 4.80X8, but these are too small for my rims (I think). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,129 #17 Posted October 5, 2010 Talked to the guy at Tires Unlimited ............... and they DON'T HAVE ANY 16 X 6.50 X 8 tri-rib tires! That's because M.E. Miller tire had Firestone make those tires specifically for them and they are the only company/dealer that can (legally) sell them new. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PlowDayJunkie 3 #18 Posted October 6, 2010 MILLER tire had the Tri-Ribs made in Vietnam at the old Firestone factory, and they are on back order till sometime after January 2011 as of now, I needed 3 more sets but I settled for the Veredastine V-61 5 rib, they look good wide grooves between the ribs, and they work pretty well in the garden. just my $.02 Scott Attached File ( Number of downloads: 27 ) DSC00010.JPE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KC9KAS 4,741 #19 Posted October 8, 2010 I really wanted tri ribs, but I bought new ags for the front and rear of my B-100. Looks pretty, but if I ever have the opportunity for tri-ribs, I will get them. I read on another web forum that front ags on a 2 wheel drive should rotate opposite than those on a 4 wheel drive. Since these aren't "pulling", they supposedly turn better running "backwards". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KC9KAS 4,741 #20 Posted October 9, 2010 I saw several tractors today with the 4.00/4.80 X 8 tri-ribs on the front, and I do think these will fit my rims nicely , so I will be looking for these now! Gonna' have tri-ribs after all!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
