What Does R4 Mean on a Tractor Tire?

R4 tires are most commonly used in road or hard terrain applications, and have a tread depth that is approximately midway between the depth of R1 and R3 tires. These tires are typically made of a more wear-resistant compound that holds up well on asphalt and dirt, making them the ideal choice when working between heavier work and turf projects. R-4 (R) tires are designed for light industrial services and highway department jobs, with a tread depth of approximately 70% of that of an R-1 tire. When selecting

, it's important to consider the intended application, terrain, and ground conditions.

The different tread styles are marked with R1, R3 and R4, each indicating a specific application of the tractor tire. For field work, agricultural tractor tires are usually a good choice. These tires offer the most traction of all

to ensure their forward movement on muddy terrain surfaces. If you use your tractor primarily for mowing lawns or for working on lawns or gardens, then investing in a set of tires for compact tractors is recommended.

When it comes to finding the best price for your tractor tires, it's best to call local tire stores.
