Pros & Cons
Pros
They were a little deformed when they arrived, which is normal. Such bias ply tires are easily compressed--manufacturers and distributors do so to reduce volume.
Original john deere tractor tires from 2005. Same brand as the worn ones i replaced. Original oem tires that came on the tractor.
Cons
Tires were banded together/no box/looked like pretzels. They compress the tire so much in shipment to get in a smaller box the tire is so smashed you can't get them to fit the rim.
Really wanted a smoother ride. Bought a tire went flat within 4 months. Another $30. Later it had been crushed. After i paid to have it mounted, it isn't worth the expense to send it back.
The heat affected / deformed nature of these tires make them almost impossible to seat the bead without using inner tubes. The tire does not have enough integrity at the rim bead to keep the air pressure inside.
Highlights
Quality
The tires look just like the originals and if they last as long i will be very pleased.
Normally i use a compressor to set the bead on the rim but tried it with my bicycle pump with the valve stem out peace of cake.
It could be a struggle, which is not the fault of the product.
Take tires to a shop with the right equipment to save yourself hours of grief trying to change them.
Price
Identical to the old tire and the price was considerably less than some other options.
Fantastic price good luck finding it cheaper.
Shipping
Took air very easy since it did not come crushed during shipping.
The tires arrived in excellent condition and were not deformed during the shipping process like others had mentioned.
All i had to do was peel the shipping label off, add some bead soap and mount the tires.

Packaging/appearance
The thing i didn’t care for was the packaging.
Packaging could of been way better, sit the tires out in the sun for a few hours and they straighten right out.
Competitiveness
The tread pattern was a close match to the originals but these replacements are 4ply compared to the original 2ply giving me a ... Read More

Rigged up two ratchet straps per tire and eventually got the bead to touch the wheel rim and the tire would inflate
