Just put a set of new BKT 14.9-28 tires on my WD. Anybody know if they're wort a chit? I guess it's too late now as I already got 'em. Any opinions on that brand?

I put on the exact same set of BKT's 12 years ago on my WD-45. Been very pleased. Tractor rides every summer maybe 250 to 300 miles and pull a 3 x 14's mounted plow when I can find a place to play. Always have traction. Haven't been disappointed at all. Good physical height too.

I have them on all my G’s, most are 15+ years old, no cracks so far, I find them a bit harder than a lot of others, but I’ve been happy with them, and usually are priced good

For tractor rides and no fluid or weights, I run 10 psi of air. When I plow, 12 psi works well and I hang 900 lbs of weights on a belly rack directly in line with the PTO box.

About the best for the money. Unless you can justify or want Michelin radial tires on a play tractor
