Reproduction Firestone Rear Ag's

JayBrd · #1 03-18-2010, 02:47 PM

Just got off the phone with Bev at Miller tire. She said they are going to be bringing back the Firestone ag tire in 23/10.5x12..(reproduction)

Cost will be $125 per tire. If you call and pre order by 30 APR 10 you will get free shipping. The arrival date is going to be approx mid-May

use the code: weekend freedom special

I should be ordering a set in a few weeks. They are still waiting to hear if they will also release other sizes.

23-10.50-12? That's interesting, because Firestone never made that size, to my knowledge, just 6-12, 23-8.50-12, and 26-12-12.

Now, if I only had $250 to spare...hehe

I bet, they will be sharp looking! The Firestones always had a nice look to them.

its sucks if you want to go all firestone for a cub its almost $400 bucks. my dad barely paid that for firestone transforce tires all around for his 2500hd...

I agree, the Firestone garden tractor tires are a bit high in the price dept. I think the wide tri ribs are to high for what they are. My 125 has a pair of well worn 8.50 Firestones on the rear, will probably put 8.50 Carslile's on it when the time comes. $250 bucks for rear ag tires is getting out of line in my book. Garden tractor tires shouldnt cost more than tires for a car. If they are repros, are they going to have Firestone on them? I will wait and see if they decide to offer the 8.50 size, either from Millers or direct from Firestone. I do like the looks of them the best, just not the high cost. Cheers Mikie

From what I was told they will be the exact same tire. They are not being made by Firestone, but rather by another company. The Firestone tri's I have came with a Made in Vietnam sticker on them but the tires still say made in the USA. As far as the cost...I look at it as a 1 time deal, not likely to wear them out..
