rice tires

[1974vette]

hello fellas. I have the chance to buy a real nice set of 23.1x26 tires for a fair price to put on a super wd9 I want to restore. the problem is they are rice tread tires and im not a big fan. I am looking for comments on what people think of rice tread tires on that big old wheatland tractor? thanks in advance. I would also add that I really do enjoy the knowledge and opinions on this forum.

There going to ride rough, it will shake.

i am thinking that no matter the price if i don't like them they are not worth it.

I have the same size on my wdr and take it everywhere and it doesn't bother me. They make it look good I think. Just my opinion

Looks good I'd like to find a set of 26 inch wheels and hubs to put on one of our 9's or 600's that old tractor looks good in her work clothes

That 26 inch set up is hard to find. The hubs add almost 1500 lbs
To the tractor. Those hubs are huge and heavy.

You should be able to find some in a combine salvage yard, I put quite a few of them on combines over the years.
