Pulling Tire History March 12, 2021 11:47AM
I have not been on this site for a year or better and could not get it to recognize me to post a attachment or pictures. Had that happen a couple years ago when I had not been on here for a long time. Not sure if it times out if you do not use it or what. When i try to register under my name it said someone was already using that name. Oh Well! Anyway Jake got me fixed up. Thanks! This is just some info I have collected over the years about pulling tires. Will post some pictures later. Thanks, Doug

Very interesting and informative article, thank you for sharing it with us Doug. I was wondering if you ever ran any B F G puller tires?

Jimmy, I have always been a Firestone man, but BFG came out with pulling tires about a year or two before Firestone. I had a choice and went with Firestone. BFG also had a light and heavy tire. I believe their options were 4 ply and 8 ply. They were made in Miami, OK not far from where I live now. A lot of pullers out west ran them. Bill Williams 4010 tractor that won the light super class at Greely, CO in 1979 had a set of the 4 ply BFG tires on. Roby Watson from Texas ran the BFG 8 ply tires on his 4020 that won Louisville a couple of times. I have a couple sets of those BFG tires in 8 ply. One set I got from George Bogle from nearby Girard, KS that was with the Kansas Tractor Pullers and NTPA years ago. Thanks, Doug

Doug,
Do you know if the ag tires went thru a similar change in rubber compound and cord material as the puller tires? If so, is there a date for the change in them too?

Lightest & best usually don’t go together in a pulling tire.
