Hey guys made a video on the Carlisle WT300 tractor tire. I made a thread on this tire about 1.5 years ago on this forum and now I finally got around to editing and uploading the video as well to give people more of a visual and explanation of why I feel these are one of the best tires around for a sub compact tractor.

Are you pleased with the wear? I put a set of Carlisle R1's on the front of my L3000 and they are wearing like crap. I thought the Bridgestones were bad but I don't think these will last half as long. They hold a load better but that's about it.

I'll probably go with a set of Titan's if I can get them in my size when I replace them next time. That's what my M9000 has and they still look almost new.

Good stuff is not cheap and Cheap stuff isn’t either when it fails right when you need it to work.

Firestone is on my tractor, Goodyear on my other equipt, except for the Bridgestones Kubota OEM’d on the front of the M4700. Lasted 25 years so far.

Of course, getting tires from anywhere but China and Thailand these days can be a days work in itself.

I like the R14 that TTWT did a vid on. But the cost is pretty staggering for such a small tire. I outfitted my B with new shoes all the way around for less than the current cost of 4 R14.

I dont know why, but the WT300 looks -soft- if that makes sense? My R4s suck out loud in snow, but thats what ballast is for.

I just live with the indents in the soft grass areas as I dont trust Turfs for bush-hogging.

Given the cost, I may try the WT300s in the future though...
