I need to replace the front R-4 tires (27x8.50-15) on my Kubota, and have a local store that is quoting me Carlisle 6 ply for 115.00, and the Deestone 8 ply for 80.00. FWIW Amazon has the Carlisle for 90.67 shipped.

About the only Deestone reviews i've seen online relates to the larger riding mowers, etc, and it appears the Deestone is sized somewhat on the small size compared to the other brands.

Does anyone have any experience with the Deestone tires or other suggestions as to what would be the best replacement tire for my L3800 with FEL?

Thanks for any and all help!!

IMO Carlisle makes a decent tire for a good price. I was happy with them when I bought a set.

Check Tuckertire.com and see what they can do. I buy all my tires from them, including a set of R4's on the rims for my L175, and tires for a pontoon trailer for the front.

I put Carlisle on the front of my L3000 and have been very pleased so far. Much better tire than the Bridgestone's they replaced.
