What is your overall impression of these type of tires? If you have had to replace one has the supplier been able to meet your demand. Did you find compaction similar to tracks. Is the ride in the field better than tracks.
What are the Pros and cons of LSW compared to tracks.
I know I could get some answers from dealers , but would rather hear a farmer tested story than a dealers story!

Do you mean LSW? I've not heard of LSV.

Isn't LSW mean low side wall. Which is the opposite of a flexible side wall that would give more flex and a wider contact plate. Cars with a 50 series tire have always rode rougher than a 70 series tire because the 70 series flexed more.
I had stopped at tire shop yesterday and asked about some 20.8r38 and 16.9r28 for mfwd tractor. And looking for the most flexible tire I can get to give good flotation in spring for spraying. Heavy pulling traction is not a requirement. Tire shop gave me a price of $3400 and $2200 for Firestone radials and said the Michelin Agribib were a couple hundred more for the rear but less for fronts per tire. So Michelin would be the better choice I would think since they are known for a very flexible sidewall and therefore larger contact plate. And now I see Michelin has a more flexible Agribib listed on the internet so need to look into more specifics.

Michelin will have sidewall problems if you run recommended pressure in them.
