Stupid tractor tire ! ! ! Need HELP ! ! !

My father in law has a Kobuta compact B7300 and front tire destroyed. So I call tractor tire shop I deal with ( big shop not little fly by nite ) give him tire size. He calls me back and says, bad news Firestone discontinued that tire and that size was only made for Kobuta. (that's nice)He also ran a on line search to see if maybe somewhere might be one sitting in stock. Now this thing is 4x4 so I have to run correct tire size ratio. That means unless anybody can think of plan B I will have to change all 4 tires because of one bad front.
 
You did not state tire size, but I had the same experience with my Kubota B2150. My fronts were 24x850x12 My tire dealer tried everyone and I also went to my friends at CNH who sell Kubota also. No Luck! Went to my local Cub Cadet dealer a couple miles down the road. Went to his storage barn and started looking through his 12" tires. Found a new pair of DEESTONE 23x10.50x12 lug tires. They were only 1 1/2" less in cir. I paid the price $160.00 and put them on. Blew them up real hard andlet a little air out of the rears. Took the tractor out on the pavement in 4WD and it coasted easly on a slight grade, no binding The rears are those STUPID 13.6x16 R3s
that are starting to weather check. I haven't asked , but I bet you can't get them either.
 
Firestone field and turf 21x8.00-10NHS is the brand and size. Sorry, went brain dead and didn't put this info in original post.
 
Try Galaxy. They seem to have bought the molds for the Field & Road line from Firestone. Mabey they got the turf ones you need too.
Probably not quite as good of a tire but they're not bad. Certainly worth a shot...
