I bought some Titan tires for the front of my Kioti CK30 a couple of years ago so this is a follow up on them
The original tires were very soft and spongy and very unstable when I filled my bucket. The sides were too soft and prone to puncture on rocks or even just nail type punctures. They had even rolled off the rim and deflated when carrying a load. Very inconvenient.
I bought some Titan Hi Traction Lug tires which were Tubeless 6 Ply rating and the difference is chalk and cheese. They are brilliant and why they are not fitted as standard I will never know. Maybe the manufacturer didn't expect a FEL to be fitted? but mine came with the FEL fitted from new.
All I can say is that I believe the original tires were dangerous and should never have been fitted in the first place.
The tractor feels a lot more stable even without a load and the tires still look brand new.
It was a good decision.
I still have the old HUNG-A 7x14 tires in my barn and look at them in disgust every time I walk past them. Gotta get rid of them....
