General Ag Tire Info

[TonyM]

Can someone post up information about their purchase of ags from wingfoot (Or anywhere else for that matter)? Prices, style of tire, size, what you did for wheels, any links or contact info if you've got'em..... etc.

I bought a set of 44" hi traction titans from wingfoot for $502 each no shipping charge then i bought the blanks from diversified tire for $205 each not sure if that was a good deal or not but needed them above all that diversified welded centers with 3" caps over valve stems for $350 for all four tires add tubes and mounting tubes $450 for 5ea of them and mounting i think was like $200 when all was sasid and done it ran me about $3500-$4000 but still better than the $6000 that diversifed quoted me to supply everything

[FordCummins]

Talk to Carl at Wingfoot 276-7515
I bought my titans for $440 per tire and the blank rims for $150 from Wingfoot. I think those prices are history now though. I think Deric got his tires for $510 from Wingfoot. If you want tubes by them from Wingfoot they are $33 each as compared to $85 that Diversified rapes you for.
Persoanlly I fucking hate Diversified Tire, they will not get any of my business or our companies business. They are overpriced and bend their customers over bad! On a side note if you want Cooper tires talk to Tom at Lube Express behind Mug Shots, he will beat Diversified on Cooper Tire prices everytime hands down and Customer service is top notch.

If you want custom centers cut and welded up for on your blanks have Nick at Vanweld North do it for you 357-8269, or any other custom fab work for that matter. He is local in the valley off Seldon. He has a plasma table to cut any design you want and will weld them in for you. He did mine for a case of beer, but then again I know him and what not. I am sure his prices would be very fair. Just tell him I sent you and he should know what you want since he did my rims for me. Also I supplied Nick with a sheet of 3/8" mild steel to cut the centers out of also.
Just my .02

Jason pretty much said everything for me. I did get mine at Wingfoot in Anchorage for 510 a piece they were 30 bucks a tube and the tire size was 18.4-16.1 They have been great to deal with, but I went another route on wheels. I chose to mount mine on a 16" rim. No one in town will mount a 16.1 on a 16" rim too much liability I guess. My company does quite a bit of work for wing foot so the guy I deal with for work Mounted them on the side for me. Here's the website for the wheels http://www.jegs.com/i/Cragar/260/3427280/10002/-1 They have a 2.5 offset and for $99.00 if 16.1 would not set properly on a 16" rim I figured I could weld bead locks on them. Last I checked for blanks at wingfoot they were $170.00 a piece plus finding or making centers and welding them in. The total for my wheel, tube and tire combo was $2584.00 and Jegs only charged $23.00 in shipping total to get all four wheels up here. I don't think I could even find a set of 44 boggers with out wheels for that price.

Also, Aaron at All Around Tire in Wasilla will mount the tires on the wheels, but will not air them up, for $200

I'm assuming your reason for tubes is in your build thread?
Thanks for the feed back on the rims :)

I carry tubes as a trail repair incase a tire is punctured as per a recommendation from FordCummins AKA Jason Crocket. Because his 16 wide wheel seems to loose beads on occasion The other Idea is to kind of use them as an internal bead lock. Since it is really nice to run the tires with less than 10psi in them. I have not had the bead issue with the 12 wide wheel unless I get stuck towing some body's pig off the trail.

Great reason.. Thanks! What psi do you like to run with the tubes?

I purchased 16.9-24 Firestone R1's for $725 a piece from TDS this summer. Just about a month ago I bought wheel shells from Wingfoot for $125 a piece including shipping. For centers I found a set on Pirate that hadn't been installed for $340 shipped. The only thing I have to do is figure backspacing and taper the holes for lug nuts.
