Ag tread tires for 122 rear

[Richard Streib]

Is there a good place that is reasonable price to purchase ad tread tires 23x8.5-12 that are USA made for my 122?

This is the only 23x8.50-12 lug tire I'm aware of still made in the USA:

Yes, I saw that one. I saw the one at Millers which states made in USA and one on ebay and amazon which both say made in China. And all with SKU 523301. Not all sellers give the country of manufacture.

I scored a pair of Carlisle Tru Power 23/8.5/12 on Amazon a few years ago for I think $65 each because the seller only had 2 left. A couple weeks later, they restocked and the price went back up to $90 each.

Google "Giga Tires". They have Deestone model D405 23x8.50x12 ag-type tires at about $37 apiece. I have used Deestone (made in Thailand or India) on the front rims of a few farm tractors, and they have been fine. These D405 tires are 6 ply, so they're going to be stiff, but they should work.

The Deestone garden tractor size tires I have seen are made in China, and they run small compared to other tires of the same size. Not a great option IMO unless cost is the only concern.

Well, the Giga tire ad I looked at an hour ago showed the country of origin for these tires as Thailand. What can I say?

l have this Carlisle tire for years, it be great. Don't get 10.50's, they won't dig in as well as an 8.50. And the 8.50 won't mess up the lawn. You'll always see Farmalls with 8.50's.
