Pulling Tire recommendations please

Recommended Posts

Hey Guys and Gales what's the best Bar type pulling tire.

I will be going after some 26x12x12

But what brand is at the top of your list.

Should they be 4 ply 6  or 8 ply.

Which one would you pick  straight bar or the other one. 

 

Thanks in advance.

I have both of those styles on my workers, the bottom "Lawn Trac R1" do seem to hold traction longer in snow than the straight bar "Deestone", but I would say if you have the money the Firestone 23° would be your #1 choice with Carlise Tru-power and the Lawn Trac #2 for a puller tire, Jeff.

Not much into the cut tire class of pulling yet.

I appreciate everything folks do for one another here on Red Square.

Thank You

Cutting will help but my club doesn't allow cut tires in their stock class.

Deestone is the worst in my opion and their sizes seem smaller than the competion, Vogel in good right off the shelf and better when ground a little, we can "sharpen them  but not alter the profile

I wen't to Feldman's Farm Supply and they had a set of Carlisle 23X10.50X12 Tru Power on clearance, the sales person said they were about 3 yrs old (lost in the warehouse) and no one wanted them.

$100 for the pair, I ran them to the truck , A lot goes into pulling tires, Brand, wheel width, wheel offset, tire pressure, type of track, moisture, weight placement, and most of all LUCK. I have had decent 

luck with Hi-Run after the first year, they seem to get harder faster than most brands.

I have these on my economy and went back to the true power cut tires on the 953. They both dig well. These are the Firestone Flotation tires 4 ply. They are pricey but IMO worth it.

I have to agree, Deestone is a poor pulling tire. 

Thank you for your reply it was helpful.

I run Vogel they work great, Firestone does not make the 26x12x12 & 23x 10x50 or 8x50 . That is yes you have to buy them Thu Miller Tire. I think Mckerdie in PA makes them not sure. I am buy another set for my 3 cylinder diesel puller  . I will have them cut like my pair on my Wheel Horse now .  I used to use Firestones for years Hope this helps, Walt
