So I need rear tires…. I am going to try Deestones, I hear they run small? If so how many sizes? Do they last? So many questions

If it was me I would get another brand. They run so small they're not even a representative of the numbers.

        Nearly every town has a lawnmower repair shop that has a bunch of parts tractors around. They can be a source of good used tires at an extremely reasonable price.

[Easton Rich 311]

Ok, I think a town near me has a jd repair shop with a bunch of similar sized tractors. I’ll check there

@Easton Rich

 

If I was gonna buy a tire today this would be it:

https://simpletire.com/brands/bkt-tires/tr315-trencher-lug#curationPos=none&curationSeq=none&curationSource=none&itemId=74771&mpn=94022298&pageSource=PDP&productPos=none&region=r1&tireSize=23-10.50rr12&userRegion=1&userZip=04041&v=1&zip=04041

 

 

There are other sizes and load ranges. 

 

I've bought several sets of various tires from Simple Tire. 

 

Price is excellent. Free shipping. 

Excellent service.

I checked them out, they’re cheaper than Carlisle but still expensive. Do they run direct size?

At $80 each for a 10.5 wide tire that's VERY competitive.

 

I actually ordered 4 of these yesterday for future use. 

 

The Deestones aren't much less money but sure are less tire.  

 

You'd have to buy used to pay less.

I haven't seen any reviews stating an answer yet.  

I'll know in a few weeks.  

 

[Easton Rich 311]

Ok I’ll probably check some reviews and go from there. THANKS

Ok @kpinnic how did you wire up your cheap light mod. I’m very interested 

[Easton Rich 311]

Sorry I spelled it wrong @kpinnc

The LED thread shows two different LED upgrades. The LEDs are simple positive and negative, and I ran a switch and power direct to the battery. The amp draw is so small that it makes almost no difference. As far as assembling the lights, that is in pics of the LED thread.

Thank you very much
