Fits these machines
Standard fit: Three-rib front on antique row-crop tractors stepping down from 6.00−16 — the Ford 8N, Ford 600 series, John Deere A and B, and Massey Ferguson 135 among them.
Fits more machines than we list here — any machine that runs this size. Our fitment guides are growing.
Even when a size fits your model, it's not always 100% — machines vary by year, trim, and past tire swaps. Before ordering, double-check the size on the tire that's on your machine now, or your owner's manual. And if it's still wrong, our 30-day fitment guarantee has you covered.

About this tire
This is the Deestone D401 in 5.50-16, a 6-ply tri-rib F-2 front tire for tractors and farm equipment. The three-rib F-2 tread is what you run on a steer axle: the ribs hold the furrow line so the tractor tracks straight and the front doesn't push.
At 6-ply (LR C) it carries 1,050 lbs and runs an 18/32 tread depth. It measures about 28.1 inches overall diameter and 5.9 inches section width, and mounts on a 16x4 rim. This is a tube-type tire, so run a tube inside.
If your current front tire is a 2-, 4-, or 6-ply in this size, this 6-ply replaces it with more carcass than the lighter ratings. Deestone is the value brand, priced to keep front-end replacements affordable. Made in China. Part number DS5123.
Why this tire needs a tube
Tube-type casings don't seal on the rim — the tube holds the air. Cheapest insurance you'll buy. We'll set you up with the right one over the phone — call the shop: 216-202-4802.
