Tractor Tires

I'm telling you a man could make a living around here servicing tractor tires.
I need two front tires for my tractor, just 5x15 tires. No one around here stocks them and most that sell them don't provide any service for mounting them. Those that do will order them and "they may be in this week".
I can order on my own cheaper and have them in 2 days. Then pay a local shop to swap them out. That's what I'll do. I already ordered a pair of better tires (6 ply vs 4 ply) cheaper than I was priced at the tractor service center.
I just think it's funny. You can buy a small tractor anywhere, but service for one is hard to find.

I run pick up tires on my bobcat... But keep in mind the load ratings. With 15 inch you'll only be able to get a c-rated tire
Plus if you wanted to you could run 31s on it, saving you quite a bit of money and giving you a lower gear ratio
Turf tires run at far less pressure than highway tires and are "softer" than highway tires both of which affect traction.
Yes but you can run vehicle tires at about 10 psi also...
Which has NOTHING to do with tread surface and sidewall flexibility. This is what turf tires have but highway tires lack.

Yep.
