Watch E-Bay --- I bought a new set of Goodyear R4's that popped up on E-Bay. Takes patience --- other than that, I can't help.

Find your nearest Carlsise Tire dealer and aks them what they get for the
12.4-16 Trac Chief R4 industrial lugs.http://www.carlisletire.com/locator/PrxInput.aspx
put in your zip code and it should give you the closest dealer to you for new
tires. Your best bet on a deal would probably be to check with some of the Kubota dealers around you and see if they have any changeovers (where someone bought a tractor with them and wanted turf treads instead) and you might find a deal. Other than that keep your eye out on Craigslist or use
Search Tempest which will search Craigslist first then show any ads on Ebay
to see what's there.

thanks for the tire info, any idea on size affecting the 4 wheel drive ?, i assume front and back need to stay in proportion so the 4 wheel works right, thinking the outside diameter of a less agressive tire is shorter than a ag tire.

Tire size is critical on 4wd. If you are not using the factory tires you will need to do some math and the the diameters or circumference of the factory setup to get the ratio if you are planning on changing a tire size rather than matching factory. Operating in dirt won't cut you any slack either. You will end up with an expensive repair bill in the end. Some tire sight list operating diameter but most don't. Good luck. I'm trying to do the same thing on my 2350dt without taking out a mortgage to find some r4 tires.

I hear ya,
I`ve been looking for about two years now for some rims and tires for my B8200, with little to no luck. Either they wanted too much (790$ a tire) or they were finished. I just found a set this morning for 275$ an hour and a half from home, tires and rims (all four) off of an old B8200. The guy was a machinist and made the rims out of stainless. I feel even if the tires are scrap, just the rims are worth more. I`m pleased. Best of luck, just gotta keep shopping about.

Hi All,
Newbie here just purchased a small vineyard in Temecula and with the property I got a B8200 and it needs new rear tires 12.4-16. These tires seem impossible to find; can I use a 13.6 tire instead of the 12.4-16 on the stock wheels? Or can I use turf tires; we do not have much mud. Just found 9.5" X 16" on ebay will these fit on my wheels?

Read back through the thread, is your tractor a 4WD? If it is it's not as simple as just changing the back tires you will also need to change the front's also to keep the ratio right.

Here is one place that has them, http://simpletire.com/titan-12.416-423383-tires

Hello,
Did you ever find the tires you needed? I have R4 12.4 - 16 and want to go with ag tires. I also have the front 7-12 tires and again would like to go with the R1 ag tires.
Thanks,
