BX2380 got a flat, tire recommendation?

[Bruh44]

I’m in Fairview, NC where the hurricane hit x few months back. I was digging up river rock to fill a couple bad spots in our road.
I’m guessing I hit something metal, because my side wall got split on my front left tire.
Definitely better than a rear tire. I had already replaced this tire about two years ago.
is there a specific brand you all recommend? I’ve been price shopping and found a few that look decent. I would like to get something very durable though.
I’m sure about any tire would get split on sheet metal, but there’s a lot of crap in the ground here. I just want to get some solid tires to deal with all that.

What style tires do you have? R4's are generally the most puncture resistant if that is your primary concern.

 

[D2Cat]

What's on the tractor now? If you change from R1 to R4 a different wheel is required. Be aware.

What about these?

Have them foam filled and be done with it.

 

[DustyRusty]

If you have them foam filled, possibly the damaged tire can be used and foam filled.

This is the style of tire I have. No idea if they are R1 or R4
Front tires

R4

As @DustyRusty mentioned, those are R4's. Your best bet is likely to follow @North Idaho Wolfman's advice and have your front tires foam filled to prevent future punctures.

I will definitely look into that. I didn’t know that was a thing.
Do most tractor places do that?

I'm going to defer to the others on this as I have never had it done on any of my equipment. However, I'm guessing that any dealer who sells skid steers either can do this for you or knows a place that can.

Are these R4 also? They don’t say in the listingAmazon

Those are not R4 tires. That is what was used for decades in motorized farming equipment

 

[je1279]

They are also known as R1's.

 

[Bruh44]

So R1 will not fit on my rim? It was mentioned you can’t go from R1 to R4, will it work the other way? Are these good tires? I was mainly interested in them because they have 6-ply side walls. The others mostly have 4-ply.

R1 = 'farm tractor tire', think old school, the original tread, digs in soil 1st tread pattern out
R4 = 'industrial', think 'skid steer' or NOT used for plowing field, ( less aggressive tread
TURF = well, used for mowing lawns, spreads weight out, so no damage
R14 = the new kid on the block, a compromise tread

I 'think' you can now get R14 from Kubota 'wholesale goods' now. R14s will have more plys (rubber) and better weight capacity ??

KENDA make an 8 ply tire,1100# cap (?). It's an R4 style .Try Google 'kenda and the tire size....)

Most tire sizes don’t cross over from R1 to R4. You might be able to find R14 sizes that match R1 sizes and another R14 size that replaces the R4 sizes.

curious, went to K' parts online....


No code has to be inserted here.
is the R14 for the BX2380, at least in Canada,eh.

There's 4 choices.

 

[Bruh44]

I can’t see anywhere that anyplace that series lists R1, R4 or R14.
Is this an R4?

[GreensvilleJay]

I'd say so.

Kenda Tires | Turf / Trailer / Specialty | K514

specialty.kendatire.com

BTW it won't fit, you have 10" rims not 8"
