Have you had a price for the BKT sirio tyre or the order 657?

 

[Gerbert]

I would definitly not buy the bkt agrimax sirio. Neighbour has sirio 710/70r38 and 540/65r30 on a tractor, 2 or 3 years old. The rears have worn very nicely, definitely below avarage, while fronts melted away at an unbelievable rate. The normal agrimax I would recommend.

The agrimax force and v-flecto are pretty much best value for money you can get. The Sirio I would avoid as well, we have a 675 on a loader traktor in the front and so far they are holding up well, but we don't have them long enough to really judge them yet.

Thats a fairly narrow front tyre compared to the rear is that combination for a specific reason?

Id probably run 600/65/28 with those rears or even 600/60/30?

They bought it like that second hand. It is not all that unusual though, 710's for flotation and the 540's for a good steering lock.

The cheaper one

 

[Cotfarm]

Any body had Goodyears tyres
My tyre man really pushing them 7yr warranty
The tractor doesn't do a right lot
Bit of flatlifting , mainly tanking on the road and loader work when its free but it would be heavy loader work but the same not alot of it looking for something to last
Not bust in 4 or 5 years

Have you had them long, how are they wearing

2 1/2 years , 1500 hours - tread still looks like new , maybe 3mm gone - over 50mm left.

What work has it been doing Been?
50k roadwork with 16t trailer or been sat on a slurry pump?

 

[daveydiesel1]

Bkts are about £600 and tyre and Goodyears at £650 ish

If theres only 50 quid in it go with goodyear all day long, they are far superior to bkt

 

[Gerbert]

The warrenty makes it a no brainer I think. However, have a close look at the fine print. If a very high wear rate isn't part of it then I don't see the point

Only 40k and 25' trailer , collecting straw (3-4 miles up and down steep roads),carting neighbours silage bales(up and down more steep roads),Store cattle to N/A market ,fat cattle to collection centre,Masons to collect new spreader,B road through farm so most fields have road gateways,spreader loaded in yard so most loads have a road trip.

I got about 6000 hours out of the last Klebers but the CEATs are much better.
