I think Ling Lang Along would be a great tyre, we need to help China get back from their virus problems by giving up on our companies and just buy Chinese.

I had alliance tyres on a tractor a few years ago and couldn’t fault them. I think but is too expensive these days.

My 7710 has alliance on the back 710/70 38‘s they are horrible things, terrible ride on the road and the field plus one of em’s started to split.
i didn’t buy em they where on it when I bought it, personally I’d go BKT or maybe Ceat.

Alliance tyres are new a compound and want to get them out just I’ve never used them before , won’t have Firestone’s again . Bkt,s seems to be best value Again never used ceat no nothing about them . Will they handle road work with a loader on
What company/dealer was that through? please

My loader tractor (5130) has firestone on the front (they've melted) and bkt on the back now the tread has lasted well but they are starting to split on the lugs. Next time I'd try something different such as ceat.

Interesting to hear this.
My loader tractor had Good Year on the rear and Firestone on the front. Has done a fair bit of work shifting stone etc. and the fronts were a bit older than the backs so wore out quicker. Rear tyres still almost like new now. Swapped the Firestone fronts for BKT and really pleased with them. Slowly moving every machine across to BKT.
My 5150 had Mitas rears, and Barum fronts as a set together many years back. Mitas rears are lasting really well too, but the Barum didn't seem to stick so well. Swapped those to BKT now too and again an excellent tyre.
I don't think you can fault BKT for value.
From them direct via my local tyre man as the wont deal directly with me

They be been good just they've got one or two cracks around the lugs. A mate has a deere 7720 on bkts and they've been brilliant.
My year old 115 has mitas on, see how they go
