Good info.I found the Hi-Runs to be smaller compared to my round tread stock turf tires.Oh the size was 20x8x8.
99% of all tires have a different mounted height compared to unmounted thats why you need to check the sizes carefully or you may have clearance issues.No problem, I just think that a lot of people have been swayed against buying them on bad input, where they are really great tires for the money. Plus, I think they have a very nice looking tread pattern!
On the Massey, I did get him to use the 10. We tried a bit to get the 10 running, but with the good coil pack, we could not get it to fire. We tired either carb and still no fire. (IMHO, I think (and hope) that it may be the stator coil that is not charging the coil. I may send them both out as the motor would be a great swap for my son's MF-8
We put his 12hp motor onto the MF-10. Then we swapped his wheel weights, his steering wheel and the seat. We also installed the headlight kit from his 12 onto the 10. I am now working on getting his rough mower deck onto the 10. There are some other parts that were swapped over too, pretty much all the best parts onto one tractor. I plan to use the wheels from his old Massey on my John Deere, and the I may be able to use the factory electric lift switch from my Massey when I add the 12v actuator. Plus, I took the stock seat pan from the 10 and plan to send it out to have the pads redone.
They are deff. an old skool tire.I've been told the Deestone,Duro and Nanco are all the same from a guy who sells alot of them.(seemed to know his stuff).He said they were all from the vintage GoodYear mold,they just changed the sides for different brands.Well I got a set, put them next to my original tires and sent them back... Seeing them mounted is very interesting... Mine we 23x10.50's, I wonder if that made a difference? I called the place where I bought them from and they stated that they knew the Deestone's ran small, and took them back without any problems.
Seems when inflated the centers bow out to make them stand up....
I've seen and heard allot of bad things about Hi-Run tires but mostly from the trailering crowd, but I have them on my LT and really like them they have all the things I look for in a tire traction, long life, etc.Can you shed some more light on these Hi-Run tires? I've never heard of the brand...where did you get them & how much?, I'm looking for the same size 23,10,5x12.
Thanks for any help- and pics
TSC sells them for $85-each.Fit/finish and quality are as nice as you will see.They look like Carlisle Super Lugs.I've been told they bought the mold from them but who knows???Also,they are made in New Zealand.I'll deff. buy them again :fing32:.Can you shed some more light on these Hi-Run tires?

I looked at the Hi-Run's at TSC & was disappointed to see that they were only 2-ply. Does anyone know if they are also made as a 4-ply tire?TSC sells them for $85-each.Fit/finish and quality are as nice as you will see.They look like Carlisle Super Lugs.I've been told they bought the mold from them but who knows???Also,they are made in New Zealand.I'll deff. buy them again :fing32:.
I doubt you'll have a problem with them.I looked at the Hi-Run's at TSC & was disappointed to see that they were only 2-ply. Does anyone know if they are also made as a 4-ply tire?
