Michelin XM27 or similar tire options

[Boondox]

Can't remember who gave those alternatives to the traditional R1 and R4 options a try, but think at least three of our tractors are wearing them. For those of you who have had a chance to put them thru their paces, how about an objective evaluation?

TIA, Pete

CT_Tree_Guy has a set on his tractor. Here is link to some pictures. Click Here He does logging, which may be what you are looking for.

Hmmm, those tires look more like Galaxy super turfs. Hey, CT Tree Guy, what rubber are you running and do you have a closeup of the tread?

MChalkley wrote the first posts that I can remember. I don't recall if he actually purchased them, or if it was just one of his theoretical discussions. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Here is post that says he put the Michelin's on. Click Here

MChalkley definitely put the XM27s on his tractor. He sure did spend some money "upgrading" that machine.

Hmmm, they look like R4s in profile but with aggie lugs. With all that flotation I wonder if they'd be any good in snow..?
