BKT or Alliance tyres

I've got BKTs on a Massey 5470 after changing from the originals. 540s and 440s. Whether it's the tyre or not, the tractor is now unbelievable uncomfortable at 36-38kph. Essentially, it's now a 35kph tractor! No suspension on tractor but I can't remember it being anything as bad and the only change is the tyres. The blocks do feel hard compared to others.

You need to check the load index of your tyres, firstly it’s fairly common for BKT’s to have a higher load index than some of the competitors and secondly some BKT tyre sizes can have the same size tyre with different load indexes. I’d imagine you’re running at too high a pressure in your tyres.
