Anyone ever heard of these things> My tennat just redid a 45 and put a new set of 14.9/28 tires on the rear. He says these are the only tires made in the states. Real nice with lots of tread and traction

We have their flotation implement tires on the manure tankers where I work. They wear slowly and hold the weight very well.

I just bought a set of American Farmer 14L-16.1 front tractor tires for my 7060. I only have 20 hours on them so far so can't tell you much about them.

Not all Firestones are made in Des Moines. I just put a pair of Firestone tri-rib's on the front of one of my tractors & right on the sidewall it says "made in Viet Nam". I thought that I was buying American until I got them.

Bought a New set of 24.5x32 tires out of Firth Nebraska for my Industrail D 21. They are about a 40 degree tread pattern and have ALOT of lug on them. They look great and my tire guy said they mounted beautiful. It was about $850 cheaper to order them out of Neb. with shipping and everything than anywhere in WA. state. Go figure that one out !!!

I have a pair of 4 rib 10.00-16's on my puller. Look just like a firestone. They seem to take a beating on the front end when it bounces back down! Ed.

We've been selling American Farmer tires for about 3 years now.....took on the line to have a lower priced tire to compete against some of the import tires in our area. It is "Built in the USA" and has worked out very well for us. The have an excellent warranty program. The company name is "Speciality Tire of America" and started out years ago as McCreary Tire.

I put a set of 4 American Farmer implement tires on a heavy Krause soil finisher 6 years ago and have been very happy with the tires.

I had new tires put on the front of my New Holland tractor when I bought it and I paid like $40 more to get the "American made" ones. Turned out to be American Farmer tires. I couldn't find made in USA on them but hope they are. I've only put 20 hours on them but have gone over some heavy rock waterway crossings with them and rocks in my fields and no dings in them at all as far as I can see yet. They look good.
