D10-Allis 24 Posted October 1, 2010 Has anyone bought a pair of the New size 23 x 10.5 - 12 Firestone lug tires yet. Anyone have a picture of them on a tractor preferably Allis or Simplicity brand? :p I've only seen one picture of them and it was a green tractor.:Y:Y Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BLT 708 Posted October 1, 2010 I thought Firestone got out of that size along with whats left of Goodyear. And Carlisle is also getting out out it. The purchasing numbers are not there to justify that many builders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris727 1,703 Posted October 1, 2010 I think Miller Tire can still get the firestones. They are a 23 degree lug, Marty (MPH) has them on his Landlord. Carlisle does still make tru-powers in 23x10.50-12. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
D10-Allis 24 Posted October 1, 2010 Miller tire has 2 for $250 plus shipping on E-bay.(ouch) I believe MPH has them but they are 8.5 wide. The "new" ones are 10.5 wide. Just looking for a "real" picture of them mounted.dOd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MPH 12 Posted October 2, 2010 I do have and really like my Firestone 23 degree lugs and Jeff is correct, mine are 8.50's. 250 for the pair don't sound that bad, last set I brought back up cost me thinking, 86 bucks each. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BLACKOUT 0 Posted October 2, 2010 Firestone 23' tires look good on everything Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
D10-Allis 24 Posted October 12, 2010 Firestone tires showed up and I mounted one tire on the rim, not real happy with the way they Puckered on the 8" rim so I will get a wider rim to take care of the Puckering. I like the flatter look on the unmounted tire. Size wise it real close to the Carlisle Super Lug which is on a 10" rim Keep you posted once I buy or make wider rims.

B10Dave 1,665 Posted October 12, 2010 What air pressure did you put in them? Big farm tractors run low air pressures and only part of tread that stays flat looking is ground contact patch. B10Dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
D10-Allis 24 Posted October 12, 2010 Filled with fluid and had 14 PSI Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ronald Hribar 70 Posted October 12, 2010 I have the correct rims and need a set of 4 really wanted the 26's but will have to settle for these Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
D10-Allis 24 Posted April 2, 2011 Finished up a project that didn't get done last October. Had to widen some rims so I Ruff cut 4 Put them on the Lathe and trued them up, sandblasted and smoked'd them with the TIG welder. Gained 3 and a quarter inches of rim width They flattened out nice. Now I need some Durt! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gwiseman 1,442 Posted April 3, 2011 I checked w/Firestone dealer to order 23x8.50-12. The size shows up in Firestone's website and dealer info but none warehoused. Dealer (and Marty) said 23x8.50-12 are made in a limited run an unannounced times. Right now there is a rubber shortage so no limited runs for awhile. Miller tire secured the last 23x10.5-12 limited run. They sure are good looking tires! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

B10Dave 1,665 Posted April 4, 2011 :D:D What's your address? When are you away? What cut of beef does your guard dog like? Do you have nosy neighbors? Oh heck, I guess it"s easier to buy my own tires than to try and acquire yours(and the 920) Just an envious fellow tractor nut venting!!

D10-Allis 24 Posted April 5, 2011 Thanks guys for the compliments, Nobody else posted pictures of Firestones so it seems like Marty (MPH) and I might have the only Firestones in the Club? How can that be? B10Dave you crack me up and Made my Day. sm01 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rokon2813 272 Posted April 7, 2011 I have some and love them, just not in the size you asked about. These are 26 12 12 on 8 1/2" rims and about 5# of air Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
