v61 Tires
 
1 Attachment(s)
Just wanted to share my good fortune today.
I received both sets of my V61 tires from Miller Tire, with tubes of course.
They look just as great as all those I've seen on other members tractors.

I hesitated a little because at nearly $75 a tire with tube and shipping but in the end I talked myself into getting them. I figure they'll probably be the last front tires I'll ever need for the two tractors that are getting them.
See picture. Don't they look awesome? Even if they haven't been mounted yet.

Why do they require a tube? Just wondering.

Why are you running a tube?? I thought they were tubeless. I never put tubes in mine.

Same here, I didn't use tubes in the set I had.

A bit dirty after some wet grass mowing earlier this year but no tubes here either

It's my understanding these tires are sized in metric as opposed to standard. Therefore, the sizes sold may have some size variances with the standard sized rims which may cause tires to loose air pressure. So, using tubes would eliminate this problem. I'm planning to put these tires on my GT 2000 in the fall. They looked awesome.

Tubes?
Only because the Miller website indicated that tubes are needed.
I sure would have saved the $50 I spent for four tubes if I knew I didn't need them.

I'm putting them on my 1440 and 1864 I think. I was going with both 1440s but the 1864 does most of the work.

I just got two of them mounted tonight. I really don't enjoy wrestling those things on by hand but I got both on.

How many pounds of air do you guys run in them. I usually put 15lbs in my fronts. Thanks.

I thought I would go to Miller Tire to check it out again and it does indicate that these tires are tube-type tires and require a tube. Real nice blue letters too. I added the link just for your information. I really like the tire and I suppose it doesn't hurt having a tube, just $50 lighter in my pocket.
