I have them on my tractor now. Had issues early on, in that two of the tires were sorely out of round, and a couple were up almost 2 lb off balance. That's right, I said almost 2 lb. They were right around 32 oz off balance. Exchanged them right there. They are wearing as well as any virgin tire I have used.
If you get them, make sure that they are spin balanced so that they can be checked for excessive out of round and balanced. I have yet to see a recap that didn't need some balance weight to them. If it gets above 12 oz, have the dealer exchange tires right then and there. Of course, if one is out of round, then it comes off right there as well. Hopefully none of these issues will show up on the tires you get.
I got my tires at Allied in Des Moines like Scott did. Those are a great bunch of guys there. They will try and make sure everything is right before you drive off. But you need to check things for yourself. They have no problem spinning up drive tires and checking them. Make sure you ask them to do so.
If you go there, one of the best guys in the country for alignments works there. Todd does their alignments and is a step nephew of mine. He has been doing alignments for over 2 decades and is in high demand. He even teaches frame and alignments some over at the local tech center.
