R14T Tires

   / R14T Tires #11  
Look like good traction tires, but I wonder if they are really good turf replacements. Seems like they may do more damage to turf than R4s.

I do like the looks of them though. Very aggressive.

I agree..........NOT a "turf" tire.

I think they are a MAJOR problem, and here is why: What in the heck are we tractor owners going to argue over if not the merits of R1 vs R4 vs R3 tires?

Whether or not they lived up to the hype? Worthy of any extra cost? Change now or wait until tires are needed?

I don't know of course, I have never seen any except for these photos. I wouldn't mind trying them out. We will know more in a few years. If they really are the best thing since sliced bread, the dealers will specify them on all new tractors as they will be so popular that people will not want anything else. But this is all just speculation.

Was told that in testing the R14T only had about 5-10% more slippage in field applications than R1 lug. Similar to R4 performance. Roading much better than R1 lug. Technically R14T is an R1 with a unique tread pattern that they are calling R14T. 20190216_143059.jpeg20190216_144039.jpeg20190216_142626.jpeg20190216_144045.jpeg20190216_144049.jpeg

I could use a pair for the fronts on the B7500, they are about worn out. Local Titan dealer claims to know nothing about them though...

Yeah, I find it interesting that dealers never seem to know anything about anything. It is very convenient for them. As an Example, there are hundreds of our members here that would remember the problems with the Kubota "standard" tractors having a jerky 3pt hitch,, but you won't find any dealers owning up to knowing anything about it. Of course he knows nothing about these tires.. He doesn't have any for sale, and would much prefer to sell you what he has in stock. :)
