I think I have the BKT on a 1650 oliver. Came from India I believe and were as cheap as I could find locally. Tractor just used for hay so I can not offer much insight. Did mount them at home.

Yes. Put a set on my Massey. I researched it well and they seem to have the best reputation other than Firestone or michelins. And they are reasonably priced. Been very happy with mine

I use them on my garden tractor, 6ply trencher tires. I can run them with very low pressure for better grip in the snow with my blower so I don't have to use chains on the driveway. I get good ride when cutting grass also over roots. max load is something like 1700 lbs per tire. I'm very happy with them and they are priced good. I think I paid $135 for two 23x10.5x12 6 ply trencher delivered to my door. I got them from GCT wholesale. Took three days to ship.

Have them on several tractors, good tires decent price. Slightly softer rubber than some other brands, you may find that they wear a little faster if you drive a lot on asphalt. Otherwise good durability

You will be happy with BKT tires. What size do you need?

Thank you everybody ! I appreciate everyone's answers about these tires... I have a deere 755 that I basically remanufactured and have running well enough to finish off my life with.. (Mainly mowing on level ground during summer months). I'm running "MayPop" tires however,, and if I replace them with the brand names that came on it, it appears I'd spend almost as much as I paid for the thing to begin with !

Millertire,, I see your info,,, I've got 23x8.50-12 up front, and 31x12.50-15 in the rear.. In my case, I would be hoping for a turf type tread.. Lower ply where possible..

I bought 1 BKT tire at my farmers coop about two years ago. I mounted it without a tube. The tire has held up well on my bushhog tractor.
