Quite a number of years ago I purchased the first set of radial tractor tires in my hometown area. I had read about the benefits and decided since I had to replace my tires anyway, I'd give them a try. (Singles by the way.) The local tire shop sold them to me for cost to get some into the local area for a test. As I drove the tractor home from the shop I thought something was wrong with the tractor. I suddenly realized how much quietier they were when at road speed on the highway. Pulling an 18' disc with my 1070 Case I gained a full one acre per hour. That was enough to sell me on them. Granted the old tires were well worn down which caused me to lose some of the normal traction, but a full acre? Naw! Later a friend switched his 1066 IH to radials. His opinion wasn't the same as mine however, and the next time he had to replace tires he switched to duals without any radials. Perhaps the initial cost pinched his tight purse strings too hard. I hope the radials work great for you. I'd like to hear some other opinions.
