18.4-38 tire weight

[lazy A]

I am looking for the weights on Armstrong, Firestone Field and Road and the Firestone SAT in size 18.4-38. I am wanting to know which one is the lightest? Or maybe there is another brand lighter?

Risking the wrath, Ken, and others. Ha. Ha.
Of the ones you have listed, Firestone Field and Road usually 225 to 235, Armstrong a little lighter but not sure of the exact weight, SAT's right at 200 but they really do vary, some up to 225. These are 6 ply weights however I've seen 8 ply be lighter than the 6 ply quite often but not much variance usually.

The newer 6 ply Traction Field & Road tires are around 180 lbs cut, the older 6 ply are around 200 lbs each. Field & Roads should be lighter. The SATs are around 220-250 lbs.

No wrath this time, Jim. My tractor is 50lbs. lighter with SAT's on than it is with field and roads. (Same rims). However, Ken must be out of town or having a computor break down as I can not image him not commenting on your post. Art

Sorry Art and Jim but I have been on the phone with Fred Flintstone trying to get him to cut me a light set of granite wheels and tires. He keeps telling me not to tighten them on the axles as as it makes them hard to turn. I thought I could get Barney to come with me to Lincoln to help push but no luck.
Aren't you glad I added my $.02 worth?-)
