Terry Elsey tyres supplied me with Alliance radials for my 2 old tractors about 15 months ago. I use my tractors relatively lightly and so far OK.

lot of tyres are hard to get at the moment (brexit / covid). @Lucy @ Farm Marketplace is managing to find options though in most cases

Got a knackered tyre on combine on Monday, took all day Tuesday ringing round for one, no tyre firm had one in stock, nor did the suppliers warehouses, best date I got was 12 weeks.
Luckily a dealer friend of mine had a new one in their workshop which they’d taken off a new combine to fit another size of tyre.
This was for a 500/85R24
