My tractor has new shoes!

I just bought a Massey Ferguson 240. The tires were not great, so as I looked on EBay, I happened to notice some new Firestone R1 SAT II 6 ply (13.6 x 28) up for bid. couldn't resist and I bid. got them for $560 a pair plus $125 shipping, total of $685 for two great rear tires! I thought that was a good deal. Even cheaper than the imports.

I plan to load them with water/antifreeze. What's your opinion on tubes versus tubeless? And did I get a bargain?

Congratulations. Have you got them on the tractor yet? I think you got a steal on them. I got a price on 11.2 x 38 Firestone 4 ply tires that was over $800 each. I like to have tubes in my tires. No liquid touching the rim on the inside=no rust problems.

You definitely got a great deal on those tires. I bet your tractor is glad to have some new shoes.
