Pick Up Quality Used Tractor Tires

The main thing that you need to know about the used tractor tires you have to choose from, is that the cheaper brand of tire will not last as long as the better known brands of tires. This many sound weird, but it is the truth, they are just not made the same.

Another thing is that a cheaper tire will not increase your fuel economy of your tractor. We all know that tractors go through a lot of fuel. Many expensive models claim that they have put their tires through rigorous tests to increase the fuel economy of the tractor. But to be honest with you, don't purchase a more expensive tire because they claim it'll increase your fuel economy. It hasn't been irrefutably proven to do so.

Here's a little secret you may not be aware of; a lot tire shops often sell retreaded tires. If you are really looking for really cheap tires to hold you over for a week or two, you might want to go this route. Many of these tires are name brand, the only difference is that their treads were worn out.

They were then sold to the tire shop, so that they can fit new treads to the tire. These will fall under the used tire category, but they will be a bit cheaper than some of the used tires out there. If you are not all worried about the tread of the tire, then you could go for straight forward used tires.

Technically, used tires are tires that were once used by other tractors, and discarded when the owner bought new ones. The old tractor tires would be sold as-is. Don't worry about too much because the tire shops will not sell you an unsafe used tire. So you have a choice between purchasing used tires or used retread tires.
