I was thinking that they look very interesting. Thankfully, I'm at least 2 years from needing replacement tires so I will have the luxury of everyone else's real life experience! I wondered which rims these would mount on-since the R1, R3, And R4 are often all different? Also, for us MFWD owners, there is always the question of the correct circumference ratio …

Lov'em. I always wished they built something like this. Who makes them? Kabota had something like them years ago, more of a zig-zag tread.

To be honest they look more like an R4 than a turf. They may be a good compromise though.

Got a couple of threads going: https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/owning-operating/408601-r-14s-have-hit-market.html
We're waiting for you to send one or more of us a set to try. I have hills and mud, a perfect test bed for a trial if you feel so inclined!!!!

I would like them more if they filled in the missing every-other bars.

Look like good traction tires, but I wonder if they are really good turf replacements. Seems like they may do more damage to turf than R4s.
I do like the looks of them though. Very aggressive.

I think they are a MAJOR problem, and here is why: What in the heck are we tractor owners going to argue over if not the merits of R1 vs R4 vs R3 tires? I mean this is sort of the backbone of a lot of threads here. Now some scalawag comes up with a "all in one" tire and defeats the whole purpose of TBN? In a few years if we all have tires like this, what will we do for a pass time, argue about grease?. Talk about dogs and cats living together, this tire to end all tires would certainly take a lot of wind out of a lot of sails... No,, just say no, to R14's.
