I have got to replace the floatation tyres 560/60R 22.5 on our 2 Bailey trailers. They are on the Nokia 161D at the moment and I could replace with the same but the vredestein floatation pro 165D are far cheaper. Has anybody had these tyres and how have they got on with them. Also the Mitas Agro 2 and the BKT are a good price but are still way more than the Vredestein.
Thanks Tim

The Vredestein are cheaper for a reason. In a side by side comparison of Vredestein and Nokian on McHale Fusions the Nokian left less of a mark and was less likely to stop turning if it broke the surface

That’s very useful thanks. Have you any experience of the Mitas

We've got BKT Ridemax 560/60 R22.5s on 2 of our trailers and they seem to do a good job and we get on well with them

12no BKT's failed last year in height of summer within a 3 week period, all scrap now and bkt useless.
all being replaced with vrede but going for trac version of 560/60r22.5 and not the pro version
had a mitas ag2 blow out at the same time as the bkt's so jury out on them
Michelin good but high wear question remains.
run 710/45r22.5 vrede's on demanding high speed application and they have stood the pace well
