Tread is about 80% ,I'm going to see if they
are worth repairing but wasn't going to trust them
with loaded wheat on busy roads in their present state.
The Ceats ride better on the road but might not have the
same footprint on softer ground but willing to compromise.
Had a set on a tractor once and they did the same.

Got 4500 hrs out of original Michelin’s XMCL’s on our Manitou. Had the same fitted..
Got the same from a set on a previous manitou. Trelleborg on the current one & looking like they’ll do 3000-3500. Was a lot more to spec XMCL’s so i guess its all relative.

Considered the super cheap but hard wearing JCB crossplies ?

Tyres getting down on ours, spends 80-85% of the time in grain store or silage pit turning on concrete. Bib loads or same again?
Got JCB cross-ply on ours. Also go by a different brand name, but can't for life of me remember what it is. Anyway, plant tyre fitter who does lots for skip hire, glass recycle works etc says they far outlast anything else when on concrete. Bombproof.

However, they're useless in the field. No flexibility or weight spreading characteristics. I would not buy them again, but maybe a good choice if 95% yard work.

Anything other than bone dry soil and JCB 536 leaves soil compacting wheel imprints.

Galaxy, that's it, Galaxy is the other brand name for them.

Galaxy tires here are cheap Chinese alternatives. For road and loader work the lugs are too far apart in my mind. Each lug Carriies the load on its own and the carcass splits inside from too much flexing in one place
