Three Rib vs. Four Rib Tires

One common question that many farmers have is, "what's the difference in a 3 rib tire and a 4 rib tire?" Watch this as Firestone AG tire expert Brad Harris gives us the run down.

I prefer 4 rib tires for every day use because 3 rib tires tear up the ground while turning

Love the vintage 3-rib with notches on the outer ribs, on my 1951 John Deere "A" tricycle front end. Thank you Firestone for making the same tire as shown in the 1951 JD sales brochure. 👍🚜

That was helpful, thank you nice people

Just asking, why are there not any tires with a common tread on them.

[lancebass]

I prefer 4-rib in hay fields because they are less aggressive when turning

[martingardener]

Do you still make single Rib ? I know a John Deere 4230 that came with single rib from the factory - they didn't last long and were replace by three rib.

[clintonemmert]

On the back tires why the tires tread shake like a V?

[abrahamgonzalez]

some clients also said that the 4 rib has better protection versus punctures, what do you think about it Brad??

Do yall still have the 14 x 16.1 stubble stopper front tires

[applejacks]

Typical non answer. Here's the designer/engineer that literally does NOT tell anyone what the tires are designed for, only what 'customers think'.

Wish the 3 rib was made like 1970! Aka more meat

Quite interesting, but not useful. I don’t run any 2 Wheel Dr. tractors.

I don’t think I could concentrate at work if I worked with that sweet little babe!
