Alliance make good implement tyres, but their traction tyres are not as good. BKT has a lot of fans round here, but they are still a relative newcomer.
BKT or Alliance Tyres ?

I think BKT tyres are made in India, does anyone know where Ceat tyres are made? I'm looking to get some tyres for an old tractor and I am not buying Chinese.

Why not? We had Chinese tyres on a scraper tractor that lasted a good 2 years [emoji16]

Would they be the 65 size range? I've only fitted the 70 series. And dont think their so good. 580/70 r38 on the main tractor, 2000 hours and the treads going down quickly, a 480/70r38 bought to replace one of a pair of damaged Vredestein, more tread now left on the Vredestein, despite doing an extra 2 to 3000 hours.

Bugger. It's 580/70 38 I need and I was watching this thread,about to order some
. Have trelleborgs on a valtra n141 and they're totally bald in 3000hrs. Fair bit of road work in thatthough. On the other hand, I've wondered what vredestein would be like.Two tractors on 65 profile yes.
What weight are you pulling with them?

I have allia
The old 65 series were alot better than the 70 series as they had thicker tread bars than the 70 or 85 series bit the new 65 series has thiner tread bars so they prob wont wear as well

2250 gall slurry tanker, 14 plus bales on a trailer , 12 tonne excavator occasionally, but this is a hilly area, need 4 wheel drive on some tarmac roads! But can prove with out a doubt that a 480/70 r38 Vredestein traction + will outlast a BKT by at least twice.

BKT. Never had a problem with them.
Had nothing but trouble with Alliance however.

Never had that size so couldn’t comment
Got a set of 650/540 that’s done massive hours with no problem

What's the latest opinion on Alliance for tractors? Pricing a full set 540's for a little New Holland that I don't use very much, and 500 quid saving over BKTs would be useful to keep.
Better than they used to be, bit harder than a bkt
Had a little NH ( 10 reg) with Alliance tyres on - front ones wore fast and badly.....
