travisg84 1 #4 Posted May 26, 2009 I had a set of them on an old atv they handled quite a few burn outs , I sold the machine with them still on it they still looked real good after 2 years of abuse so on tractor I think they would last pretty darn good .

kpinnc 11,795 #5 Posted May 26, 2009 They are actually pretty good tires. Cheng shin makes tires for all kinds of things. Bikes, mowers, handtrucks, forklifts, and ATVs just to name a few. Obviously not USA made, but decent tires nonetheless. Kevin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rideawaysenior 25 #6 Posted May 26, 2009 My ancestors will roll in their graves when I say this and I try to always make the hinest effort to buy American but I had a set of the Cheng Shin aggies on a Ford 120 I had with a loader. They were good tires and took lots of abuse from me. If I remember correctly, they were pretty thick ply. Jack Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

porkchop 1 #8 Posted May 26, 2009 My opinion on this issue and many like it. They are closing The firestone plant where I worked for many years in June. I was lucky I ended up with a better job. Many of my fellow workers will not be that forunate about 350 of them. When I was a young man we had 38,000 GM employees and thousands more people that supported these plants in my town. Now there are none. The delco-remy starters the guide lamp headlights used on wheel horses came from here. My family is lucky but I have seen a lot of suffering around here.

tgranthamfd 29 #15 Posted May 27, 2009 Sorry didn't mean to start any debates, was just thinking right size and decient price. They were actually the small aggies 480/400-8. Are lug type ag's rough on the front end componants? Noticed not many photos with the small ag's on the front. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KyBlue 655 #18 Posted May 28, 2009 I'll stick with carlisle stuff... last time I looked their plant was still in Tenn... while all the profits might not be staying here... its keeping americans employed... I'll support that... To each his own thou, but until we become united and stand up and say we've had enough....the suffering we as a country are now facing, will only continue to get worse...
