I have a couple 12.5Lx15 tires on a couple gravity wagons that are probably about due for replacement. I’m not at all interested in anything Chinese or from India. I’m looking for recommendations of what to buy and what to avoid. I know I don’t need stubble stompers, I always fill the wagons in the drive. I doubt that I could get a full 250bu wagon out of the field with either the D17D or my pickup.

Mine too.

Although I have used light truck tires currently on one running gear here, well used but usable for a wagon.

All the years I worked for the neighbor, there was a running that was either under a hay rack, or a gravity box. That running gear had all 4 tires were automotive tires. That running never had a flat in the eight years I worked there. That was not a small time farm, at the time they owned eight farms, dairy, beef, and swine. All running gears were used a lot.
I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science.

I always use used LT tires I get from a local tire shop. They're FREE and I can have as many as I need at any time. 
If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere.
If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY

I just bought a 18.4 34 10 ply(830$) rear tractor tire and molded in the tire it says made in Turkey. I bought Carlisle because I thought they were made in Carlisle, Pa.

Headed to Monroe to pick up three same size you mention. Harvest King brand, not sure of origin. I will report back on that.

I must not have as good of luck with tires as those of you running the auto tires! Having a flat on a wagon full of grain is a MAJOR pita!! Not going to chance that over a few $$.

Don't care for auto tires on wagons either.

We have been buying 10ply Harvest King tires the last 6 or so years, very good luck. Before that was Firestone and American Farmer tires, both cracked prematurely. Not sure if they are USA sourced. Something to keep in mind— truck tires steer much harder than ag tires when wagons are loaded! That to me would cause more tie rod stress and not so good for the road over a period of time.

Perhaps Carlisle imports it’s larger models? IDK

Hewitt's is correct. If you can get them for $112 you should jump on that! What would shipping run?

Overheard Steve talking to another customer, said he is having a terrible time getting tires.

Could be. I put a set of Carlisle on my old car trailer and can’t really say anything bad about them other than they were Chinese made. The sidewalls were definitely not the heaviest. I sold that trailer and got a tilt bed style that needed tires. I bought Goodyear Marathon tires on it. The Goodyear tires have about 3 times the thickness of the sidewalls and were much heavier than the Carlisle. There used to be a lot of bad reviews on the Goodyear’s, but I think they must have re engineered them before they discontinued them. No complaints from me.
