Pollack Pete 2,273 #2 Posted March 17, 2015 I'd go with the Firestone tri- rib from Miller Tire.Just my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doc724 925 #3 Posted March 17, 2015 I think the answer depends on what you use the machine to do. The tri ribs cited by Pete are great (as I have read) in the snow (and maybe dirt) to keep the tractor going where you want it. They may not be so good as a turf tire. If all you do is cut grass, a 2 ply turf tire will do fine. If you put a loader on it, you will need a 4 or 6 ply front tires. If you snow plow or snow blow, the tri tibs or Vredestein multi rib tires are a good choice. No one tire fits all chores, that is why many of us have more than one tractor. Just my opinion as well. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bmsgaffer 2,053 #4 Posted March 18, 2015 I'm going with Vredestein V61's. They'll dig in an turn when needed without putting huge ruts in a soft yard like mine can get. But the tri-ribs will make the steering feel easier if that's important. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PaulC 342 #5 Posted March 18, 2015 I'm going with Vredestein V61's. They'll dig in an turn when needed without putting huge ruts in a soft yard like mine can get. But the tri-ribs will make the steering feel easier if that's important. I went with a cheaper version of these that I got from Amazon I believe but I have 6" front rims. Either way I have only used them in snow so far but I have been very happy with them, much better turning with the blower down then the turfs I had on before plus I think they look really cool. They are wide and pretty flat across the tire so I don't expect them to be any different then the turfs for lawn mowing. 5 ribs will be my choice from here on out for buying new front tires Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
