R 14s Have Hit The Market

[SDT]

I just returned from the Louisville show where I learned that the R-14Ts are now available .

Both Good Year and Titan had displays and Kubota had two or three models with R14Ts mounted.

They look to be just the thing for those who cannot decide between R-1s and R-4s.

No, but you can probably find photos on the net.

They might actually have some decent side grip. That's greatly missing in R4s.

Interesting design. I did not see a ply rating.

I sure wouldn't mind trying out a set. Our machines have good tires right now but down the road they look like a option! I am guessing they will fit R4 rims

Interesting tire. Time will tell. But I imagine they did some testing before bringing them to market.

Where did you get that pricing?

As per Tirebusiness.com:

The tire's versatility has the potential to save growers significant time and money over the life of the tire, Titan claims. Previously, if growers wanted to switch machines between a farming, industrial or turf application, they'd have to change both wheels and tires at nearly $4,000 per conversion.
