Had to order new rear tires for our 4850 the other day does anyone have any experience recapping them like you would a truck tire ? i dont even know if any one offers this service just trying to compare cost to servicablity

Permalink Reply by tim on 10 year busting tires and I've never seen a recap on a ag tractor (18.4 or 20.8 ect) I think the tire has to much flex to keep the cap on. I have seen many recaps on industrial tires (14.00-24, to 23.5r25 ect).
It is winter time and most tire shops have some spare time to mount a set of tires. This is the best time to get it done, let the tire shops bid against each other. Also ask if they have any good used tires or any adjustments. One our tractor we put 2 new tires on the inside and 2 used tires on the outside duals (that saved us about $1800)
let me know what size and I could tell you about what a goodyear/titan should run
Permalink Reply by Brad Jarden on ive never seen recapped tractor tires. I have had some skidloader tires recapped. It is cheaper than new ones, but you get what you pay for. They don't wear very good. I agree with Tim Look into some used tires.
