Well I finally broke down and completed my "new skin" purchase for my 455. I have been running the original turf style tires on the front for years. I have a 40 loader and live in the country with a ton of trees. A lot of my loader use is for pushing brush and moving logs to cut for firewood. A good deal of my firewood is the thorny locust type. The thorns are rough on tires especially the front. After reading numerous posts on this and other sites I finally purchased the ribbed style front tires from Miller tire. OMG I wish I would have purchased these things years ago. I should of known, have been operating big JD's all my life on the Uncles farm with the rib style tires but never knew they were available for the little fellers. I also ordered a new set of back tires to replace the cheap-o bar tires I put on years ago. The did ok, better than the turf but weren't anything near the Carlisle "Tru Power" that I put on. I got my new ones on the day after our big Midwest snow. Made all the difference in the world moving snow. They don't work worth a hoot on ice but nothing but chains do. They are fantastic! I did as much searching for a better deal than Miller tire but just couldn't find one. You do pay a few bucks for the shipping but I will tell you the bad boys were on the truck the day that I ordered and on their way.
Good job Miller.
