Ceat vs bkt

[APJ]

about to put tyres on the Merlo, where did you source Ceat from ? Had BKT on it once and lasted half as long as Mitas ?

Sent you a message.

 

[Lofty1984]

Put ceat on my tractor in work after the Michelin’s cracked the sidewalls and they have lasted real well much quieter on the road than the Michelin’s too my tractor does a hell of allot of road work and buckraking front mounted and only now do the fronts want swapping side to side been on since spring of 2019 at a guess nearly 4k hours

Evening folks,
Wanting to order a set of tyres, tyre man says that the Ceat are better than the bkt what we had on last time. Basically anyone had any ceat tyres on and think there better than the bkt. We had a set of bkt on it last time and they have done 4000 hour of mainly road work so wondering wether to have same again or try something new. Not interested in top brands as it’s only a cheap tractor so sticking with the cheaper end of tyres as it’s only use to rake, cart silage and spray so not needing a lot of grip.
We had vredstein on a different tractor and don’t think a lot to them for the money so just sticking with the cheaper brands. The bkt hasn’t had a puncture, or let us down in the 5 year they have been on but never hurts to try a new brand.
Thanks

I'm getting the same sales pitch about wear on bkt. Will likely try ceat on rear soon. Had bkt on front and tried linglong a year ago on front. 480/65 24 a nice looking tyre and doing well. Quiet too. Keenest price of all. Just can't get a 600/65 34 linglong to match new fronts

Yes. I'm sure

Is the linglong importer not in fintona?

Yes. Bound to be in Sheffield too

Is the linglong importer not in fintona?

Yes he's in Fintona has a mobile fit service but not sure how far he would travel possible that is too far to competitive.

Have a few set of linglong on now but no amount of work done to say anything, would fit anything but bkt

Just got a set of Bkts on 600/65 38’s 480/65 28’s we took Continentals off
The continentals have been ok really the fronts been a bit of a nuisance for punctures but they are worn well down and the tractor has a loader on
The interesting bit is the tyre fitter told me they fitted loads of continentals in the past they had issues cracking he was going round with the rep taking new ish sets of continentals off checking them then replacing them where needed.
Ceat is the new name for them they changed it because a lot of folks had bother and wouldn’t go back to them

Did you dream this nonsense up? Ceat has no connection to continental

Just what the tyre fitter told me the other night.
It was late but I wasn’t asleep. He’s probably forgotten more about tyres than you will ever manage to learn.

So it’s Mitas that used to be Continental
When I priced them I’m sure there was some Continentals available as well

 

[wdah/him]

Does trellyborg not come into continetal and Mitsas brand somewhere.

I put ceat on the front of the MF 5455 loader tractor last September

[lloyd]

Put Ceat on a 16t trailer to replace Vredestein which split badly.
The Ceats look like Nokian block pattern ,I like them.
