Need to put a set of ag tires on my little JD 240 they are 23x10.50-12. Prices vary a lot between brands. Other than the "buy american" thing is there any real advantage to spending over 250 on a pair of Carlisle tires when I can pick up an off brand for $130 or so? The tractor is a 94 and has original tires on with about 50% tread they just finally dry rotted and its time to upgrade to ags for the hills I mow now.

I paid $165 ea for a size bigger on Firestone 23 degree rears. Got them from Miller Tire. Absolutely love them.

The Deestone tires in that size will likely be smaller than the original 23" tires. They just seem to run on the small side for some reason. The Carlisle will be the closest to the original size.

How much smaller are you talking? The chen shins on the miller tire site are only .3" smaller than the Carlisle. I can't seem to find real specs on the deestones.

More than an inch. I have some side by side comparison pics somewhere. I'll try to find them.

I have a set of loaded Deestones I use when moving snow. As they are mounted on a spare set of rims I take them off in the spring and put the turfs back on. The ag tires cause too much damage to my lawn. Are your tires really dry rotted or just weather checked? It's rare for rear tires to require replacement. I have two 1976 Case garden tractors with the original rear tires. Other than being weather checked they are in good shape.

Goodwrench,
Napa sells the Cheng Shin tires also. They have a 23x10.50-12 "turf tech" tire. Napa P/N 7-04835. Might wanna look into their prices...

I do most of my mowing with a woods on a c. But there are some ugly banks that the c won't do well so I meex the grip. The turfs on it now won't hold air longer than a few hours and tubes cost too much to put into a set of crapy tires. I'm also looking for a snow blower so the AGS will be good for that.
