| Ag tractor tires
Hi Guys,
I am looking to run a set of tractor tires on my HZJ79, I'd like something 36-38 inches with a heavy ply rating. Anyone have any suggestions?? I use a 16 inch rim - widest I can get a 6.5 inches so it limits me - unless I cut and splice a band in. There is no other rim size that I can buy for it - unless I buy it in australia or switch to an 18 inch rim for the new tundra 5 bolt pattern - then tires are about 4-500 each.
Suggestions?
Louis

Louis | How about some Non-dir military tires. Check out the 9.00-16, they are close to your specs at 35.5" tall and looks like a 6.5" rim should work. Non-Directional Military Tires - Specialty Tires of America

| Tyres for rice crops are popular in mud racing here. They are availible for 16" split rims and measure 33"-35"(an 85 - 100 or more profile). Rice tyres are usually narrow with a 23' tractor type tread, with a wider than standard void between narrower lugs.
Hope this helps.
Matt

This helps them lose some weight as well. They are designed for something a little heavier than a 70srs of course.
sorry - thinking of XML here- an ASLAV uses a 325/85R16- a big, stiff, boot, designed for an armoured vehicle, that will hold the thing up if some wheel stations are removed- just to give you an idea of how stiff they are.
They are not bullet proof- no matter what you read on here.

| i have watched the XL in action and wasn't impressed.
i run a 36" tractor tire for off road use and have impressed many with it's performance, i also groove the treads for added traction...
for strickly off road use they are real hard to beat. i will be running these next weekend at the local UC run...
oh, and i run them on stock LC 16" rims
cheers

| I have some 11r16 XL's and I am fairly pleased with them. Long lasting, super tough and they dig like crazy. A little slidy on off camber situations. Siping would probably be a good idea, although I haven't yet.
