Okay, so, I have a McCormick Deering No.5 (I think) 8 foot rake, on rubber tires. It has 4.00 x 9's on the rear, which I THINK are still good, however the tires on the front are shot!
Right now it has 5.90 x 15 BF GoodWrench's on it, 8 or 10 rib implement tires. I just so happen to have 2 5.50ish x 15 Volks Wagon "all terrain" tires on the front of a Case. They have relatively good tread on them, would they work on the rake?
I am sure that the tires will go on alright, but I don't want to be sliding the wheels!! I also have tire chains that will fit that size if needed, but I really don't want to have to "chain up" in the middle of a 100* July Day!!!
What do you think? Should I buy some implement rib tires, or give these a shot? Also have some Tri Ribs in great shape, but I think that they would slide?
