Agribibs last for ages and grip like nothing else. As above, 480’s are nice.. so omnibibs are my choice there and cheap from Terry Elsey tyres.

Never seen the words cheap and Omnibib used in the same sentence before!!!!
Maybe a little more to buy, but I am getting over 8 thousand hours with 10% left on the front of the loader tractor. That seems cheap per hour.. and Grip and ride great. Not a daft front axle with a limited slip diff tho, then they only lasted 4K hours..

Only pulling your leg !!!!! I'm a firm fan of Michelin for the farm and the road....interestingly changed the front tyres on my 3 year old Toyota Landcruiser yesterday.....just clicked over 62,000 kilometres from new... mix of fast open roads and rough country unpaved or metal roads as they call them over here.....Michelin Latitudes...$490 each...Goodyear's $295 each... fitted the Michelin's!
