Which tire is best? It seems that the question has been around awhile.

Came across an old magazine that had these tire ads in it. FARM JOURNAL Oct. 1937. /w3tcompact/icons/cool.gif

Decided to post them up here.

Re: OLD ADS-Tractor Tire History

In the 1920’s, they started experimenting with low pressure pneumatic tires on farm tractors. Goodyear used Case tractors and Firestone used Allis-Chalmers tractors.

In 1934, Nebraska Tractor test 223 , Allis-Chalmers was the first tractor tested with rubber tires and steel wheels. Both the drawbar hp and fuel economy were increased over 25% by using pneumatic tires over steel.

Major breakthrough for farming and tractors… No more steel wheels…Now super pneumatic tires!

{Thanks a lot for bringing us down memory lane with those ad’s}

DFB,those ads were great. I enjoyed reading them. I am very interested in vintage tractors, and the tread designs you find on some of the old tires are real interesting! Thanks, alot!!/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
