Born_a_Brat Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Just off the phone with Les Schwab...they make a ribbed tractor tire in a 13"...the tires are not legal for pavement (he said they will not dissipate heat and will explode at higher speeds) Has anyone experimented with these tires off road? They make some VERY agressive tires that would go on the front of a 4-WD tractor. He said you'd need a lift kit and/or some fender modification to fit them on a brat.

There's a guy in WA with a couple of XT6's with AG tires. Tears it up at rally-x. They are good for muddy feilds as they are tall and skinny. Good for sand too. I wouldn't run them on trails as a general off-road tire... for one you would have to trailer your rig everywhere. Swampers do just as well, and are street legal. But hey - go for it and take a video camera - I would like to see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyboy Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 It was pretty common here in New Zealand, when the brumby (Brat) was the perfered farmers vehicle. We have a lot of open grass land and it often hilly, that can get wet and boggy. Fantastic grip, but terrible on harder surfaces, as in bad vibration through the wheels.

Ross Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 We also still get little 4wd suzuki trucks with those tires now - apparently the farmers love 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet82 Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 I was never able to find a 13" tractor tire. What equipment uses them? I never found any industrial or farm equipment that used a 13" wheel. With no demand, no one is going to make them? Best I could find was 14". Send us a link on the 13" tractor tires.

cmiller Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 I've got some video footage from the January 1st 2006 St. Helens Mud Run with a black hatch running those tractor tires. He went anywhere he wanted with ease! Pretty cool to see. -Chris http://www.mastermindvideo.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
