I"ve gotta disagree with the others on the Armstrong/Titans. We"ve got a 1755 Oliver parked out back with a bad engine that"s got Armstrongs on it. They"ve been sitting in the sun for 3-4 years straight and the tires still look the same as they did 7 years ago. They do have some weather checking, but it"s not bad at all. I"ve seen much worse on newer Goodyears.

We Also put a pair of Titan"s on our 165 Massey about 4-5 years ago and they still look fine. We took off a pair of Firestone Feild & Roads off because about 6-7 years earlier my brothers ran over an old disk in the weeds that they didn"t see. The disk cut a slice in the tire, but it took a while for it to actually split all the way through. The Titan"s have a ton more traction than the F&R"s. No hop on the road either, unless the tractor"s been parked for a while and they get a flat spot.

While it"s true the Firestone"s may last longer, if it"s parked in a shed chances are the tires will last longer than you have the tractor.

Just wondering- Why do the current tires need to be replaced? As long as they still hold air and have a fair amount of traction, run "em, IMHO.
