Tires tires

I have a 1981 kubota 900 hours on it. I have bridge stone tires
They have cracks in them.

Should I get new tires.

Chuck,
To me, if they still hold air and traction is not a problem, keep the tires as long as you can. New tires can cost some pretty big bucks.

You may want to replace the tires to prevent a flat tire situation that would put your tractor out of service when you need it, as they are only rubber, and most of the tire manufacturers only warranty weather cracking (dry rot) for 4-5 years

Forget buying new tires.
I have a 1984 JD 316 with tires cracked so bad you can see the air inside the tires, Just kidding.
All tires were cracked and the front ones started to leak. Took them down to my local tire dealer and he put tubes in all the way around. that was 6 years ago and everything is still peachy. Tubes installed cost me $65.
I am storing my Bx inside to prevent the same tire damage.
