I know the drill:


I will try and get some posted later.

Hey....Hey.......Hey.....

Oh, at Portland, Miller was selling the narrow tri-ribs for $60/pr. with tubes, but the salesman cut me a deal for $50/pr with tubes. Now, I'm going strictly with Miller Tire for all my cubbies.

I got my front tires for my model 72 for $45 a piece with tubes from Miller Tire. Though, during the winter I run a Firestone 8.5 rear tire with new two-link tire chains. These chains are cheap, I think I liked my four-link cleated a lot better. But my new chains work great, and that's all that matters!

During the summer, or after the snow stops, I run these 10.5's on the back so I'm not limited to the ground. I leave the chains on the 8.5's, and simply swap out road tires.



For the 1450, I really want a new set of Firestone 23 x 10.5 x 12 flotation ag tires, loaded with Rim Guard! To heck with the cast iron weights on the rear, I'd rather have a set inside on the model 72!

I priced some tri ribs from my local tire dealer and he quoted me 27 per tire for deestones, hopefully I can get some money together to go pick them up.

I've been working later than normal the past few days, so I still don't have pictures. On a side note, someone mentioned in a different tire thread about the tri-ribs being a bear to mount to the rim. They didn't lie. If I had to do very many of them, I would be looking to purchase something like THIS

Nah... If you had to do very many of them you'd get really good at it.
