I've been doing some searching on this site for info on either/ both Titan and Carlisle R4's
I have a JD 750 with a loader , and i want to replace the front tires.
There seems to be just a slight difference in the tires. Most i can see is that the Titan is a few lbs heavier and seems to have an angled , reienforcement behind the outer part of the lug
Maybe to keep the lug from flexing under a heavy load? Something not likely to happen on a 20 hp tractor !!!.
The lug "might" be heavier , or deeper at the outside edges
Titan® Tire catalog
The Carlisle just has regular square cuts to the lugs , (might actually dig in better when trying to back up ? )

I have seen good and bad comments on both tires .
One of the concerns i have on these reviews , is that some of them are a few years old , and may not reflect the quality of the newer tires.
Even the newer comments, where a person says the i have had this or that tire for 5 or 10 years , might not be talking about the tire i would be buying now.
Quality usually goes downhill , not up, unfortunately
The both tires are pretty much the same price . so that is not a factor at all .
If anyone has any comments or suggestions , i would very much like to hear them
