The one you linked is only 4-ply.

What tractor do you have? What tires are on it? And what is causing them to get beat up? My BX25D handles the loader well with both turf and R-4 tires. I get the best prices for tires I buy from EBay.

Subcompact tractors pretty much by definition have about 18" tall front tires on 8 or 10 inch rims. If you're looking at skidsteer tires I'm guessing you have something larger. What size tires do you have now?

Link shows R4 tires they are calling skid steer tires, but are 10 inch rim size.

Those R4 tires are really tough. The ones on the front of my Kubota apparently have not tubes and they leak down over time. The fact they have no air in them is not visible when using the tractor, and only noticeable when something heavy is in the bucket. So I think if you get a good brand of R-4 you will be fine - and put tubes in them if you can. One of these days I am going to do that with mine, and probably put beet juice in them to help with winter traction
Nice catch. — was searching 6 ply any thought the weight carrying capacity put in the 6 ply catagory. Need to read all the text
Found some 8 ply tires load index 96
I have a bx22 and bx2200 and have both 10 and 8 inch rims - have spare rims so can use 8 or 10 inch
Do 10 inch tires hold up better than 8 inch tires?

If I need to buy a tire, I'll buy a tire from the tire shop changing my tire.

Neither I nor my sons have gone to a tire shop since I got my tire machine and balancer (both for $400) 20 years ago. A set of 4 tires usually cost less than Old's tire guy "Jimmy" saved his daughter on a set.
