Just checking to see how many hours others are getting out of a set of tires. Most of the used machines I see for sale have new tires on them by 1000 hours.
I am running Galaxy SuperFloat tires in a 31x13.5x16.5" tires on my 773. With 265 hours on my machine, I have about 75-80% remaining. I mostly work in clay/silty conditions and some gravel/rock. In the winter, I run chains on my tires so I'm sure they contribute to some of the wear. With a set of tires running $800-$1000, about a dollar a hour is being worn off the tires if my estimates are correct.
I am looking at a set of Galaxy (www.galaxytire.com) Hulk tires for my next set. These are 12 ply, 12x16.5" tires with a 44/32" tread. The tread pattern looks like a directional tread that would be self-cleaning in muddy conditions, yet long wearing because of the deep lug.
