Anyone looking for new tires check Tucker Tire, in Dyersburg, Tenn. They carry 750X20 and 825X20 for $85.00 @. They are made in China, but what is'nt these days, and they have carried them for 17 years without any major problems. They list them on E-Bay for $85.00 Buy it Now with $25.00 @ shipping but I called them and ordered 6 highway tires 750X20 and they only charged me $20. a pair shipping. Total for six to Arnold, Mo. was $570. They are 14 ply tires. Hope this helps someone. Will be putting them on my 65 chevy 2 ton.

Thanks Spoon. It is nice to know they can be so affordable! I'm gonna look in my area. If the Tenn place can get them, somebody here in CA should also and I might net a cheaper overall cost even if they are slightly more expensive, considering shipping.

I didn't go through the whole Ebay site, but there's pairs of 7.50-20's (/tubes) on page 8 for $200 + $70 shipping. Not bad at all.

Question: Can you safely run bias tires up front with radials on the dual rear? I can't find two radial 750X20's anywhere.

I think one just needs to shop around with the tires. Most of them are china made now days, and will work perfectly fine. We got ours from the local dealer. Got 7,7.50x20, with tubes, mounted for less than $600.

Just remember that these tires, especially in the smaller sizes like 7:50x20 come in 6 to 10 ply and D to F ratings. You get just what you pay for and not another darn thing.

I have run bias fronts and radial rears on my 52 1 ton, no problems.

However I would keep looking for radials while you drive with the bias, you will like the difference when you do find them.

Thanks. I have brand new radials all around but all are 8.25X20R and they rub on the front frame when I turn stop to stop.

Grigg: I'm planning to go to Radford, Va to visit my daughter in the next two weeks so I'll give you a phone call before I come up. Thank you.

Thanks for the tip on Tucker Tire. I'm getting four new tires & tubes for my FarmBolt (FarmAll tractor) for $236 less than Miller Tire in Wauseon, OH. plus Tucker has a flat rate on shipping. Thanks again.

VAfiretruck, headed to Radford? You're daughter must be going to RU. You may want to check with Thompson Tire in Radford for your tires 540-639-2451.

FAX 402-791-5851
[email protected]

The following quotes I received 2 weeks ago are for 14ply tires; X=bias - R=Steel belted radial, which last 5x longer then bias.

8.25R20 Toyo $230
9.00R20 Aelous $235

8.25x20 Nutech Hwy $115
9.00x20 netech lug $135

8.25 tubes $17
9.00 tubes $18

Shipping on the bias tires runs $25 per tire. Radial (because they weigh more)have to come by motor freight. Will need to know your postal zip code to quote them. No min or max amount of tire required to order from this company.
Hope this helps.

Are flaps included with the tubes or are they another seperate price? In case flaps is the wrong word i'm talking about the inner liner that protects the tube from rubbing directly against the wheel
