Tire gurus
I got a flat due to a nail. Not a big deal. Patched my tube and I am good to go, tire hold air. But noticed my tires are pretty beat up. Many abrasions some pretty rough and deep. I also have some cracks in the voids of the tread which I think are due to over inflation, tires had 50 psi in then till the first service which I then lower to spec of 20 psi. So I'm thinking and planning ahead to replacement. If all goes well my rear tires will out last my front tires. So I'll be matching with my rears.
I would very much like a front tire that does not do so much "damage", more of a floatation type tire. Also would like to have the tire hold up (not look flat) with a full load in my bucket. I would even like to go with an industrial tire in the front if possible. I have R1 all the way around. I am also aware of the lead/lag factor in tractors, that is kinda why I'm asking.
Tire specs:
Firestone All traction Field & Road 9.5-16 R1 (F151A was just above the tire size, part of the tires casting, not "branded" like a DOT number)
Rim spec 16Xw8 welded not riveted so tubeless can be used?
Any suggestion? If not who do I call?
Thanks!!
