Rear Tire for Ford 9N

[wpmiller9887]

I am now in the market to get a rear tire for my Ford 9N, which is currently carrying a 11.2-28. There are different ply numbers such as 4, 6, 8, 12, does it matter? I would prob use my tractor 1-2 times a month, if that even happens. I don't think I would need a 12-ply, but would like to hear recommendations and tips. Should I go with tubes or tubeless? I am from California, so shipping from the Midwest or East Cost would be too expensive.

Here are a few that I found online:
Carlisle CSL24 R-1 - 11.2-28 6-Ply
Firestone Regency Garden Tractor TLG-1 (4-ply)
11.2-28 TIRE NEW PETLAS R-1 8 PLY BIAS 11228
11.2 28 K9 Ag Tractor Rear R1 8 Ply Tubeless 11.2x28 Farm MW

Thank you.

You can't go with tubeless,I would check some of the farm stores or ag suppliers locally,there are a lot of tractors in Northern Cal. and I'm sure they could help
you locate some,6 ply would be good enough.

I put dozens of new tires on fords your size. A 4 ply tire is
just right for what you are doing. A 6 ply or heavier is a
plus, but you don't need them.

The Carlisle tire will work for you. They have been around for
a while. You should be able to find a match in the future. Be
sure to put a new tube in your new tire.

Thank you. I should add that it will often run on a long gravel driveway (gravel sizes of 1/2" to 3/4"), not sure if that would require a tougher tire.

Gravel drive won't matter.
