Just so you know, you will have a much rougher ride, so just be careful racing over speed bumps. :D ;)

I'm sure the ride will be rougher. Can't be much rougher than my yard is currently. They are cheaper than stock 4 plys from what I've found.

Let me know how that brand lasts. My Carlisle Trac Chief's that came on my B2620 all cracked all around the sidewalls right after I took delivery of it. Never lost air but they looked bad.
Carlisle was great....I emailed them and they sent me 4 brand new tires, but they are now doing the same thing again. And my tractor is kept inside, so only time it is out in the sun is when I am working.

Carlisle owns Titan, so I don't know if the Titan's are any better, but Carlisle sure seems to have a lot of sidewall cracking issues.
Even the Carlisle tires on my atv all cracked and started leaking and the tread was still like brand new.

Finally got around to getting the tires mounted this afternoon. Took them to the tire shop, it was more than I have equipment for at home. I have 20 pounds of air pressure and I'm just a moment. That's probably too much.

I wouldnt use 4 plys if you use the loader much. Ok for lawn mowing.
if you do FEL work, should all the tires be 8 ply? (residential application, woods ect) is 4 ply ok in the back?

Just a follow up, I replaced my 4 "tractor master" tires with 4 Carlisle Chief Lawn R4s (4-ply). The Carlisle tires are less beefy than the tractor master tires were (also 4ply), they held about a gallon less ballast each. Same specs, little smaller. I wish I stayed with the original brand.

I 'abuse' my tires a lot more than most of you do and I've switched from Titan o Firestone. They wear better at least for me.
