Description

When you’re planting and the conditions aren’t perfect—and let’s be honest, when are they ever?—the difference between a good stand and a great one often comes down to how well your closing wheels seal the furrow. This traction tread closing wheel tire gives you the grip you need when smooth wheels just slip and slide, especially in wet or loose soils where proper furrow closure can make or break your emergence.

What You’re Getting

Aggressive tread pattern that bites into soil for positive closure action in all conditions
Direct replacement for smooth tires—same 6.5×12 size but with superior performance
Built tough to handle the constant pressure and wear of planting season
Works with both corn planters and soybean drills for versatile farm use

Built for Real Farm Work

This tire fits both your Case IH 800 series planters when you’re putting in corn and your 5400/5500 series Soybean Special drills. Whether you’re dealing with heavy clay that wants to clump or sandy ground that won’t firm up, the tread design gives you the control to get consistent closure across different field conditions.

Made to Last

Closing wheel tires take a beating—they’re constantly under pressure, rolling through dirt, rocks, and crop residue. This one’s built with durable construction that stands up to the punishment while maintaining its grip. The tread pattern won’t wear smooth after a season or two like some alternatives.

Good to Know

You might need to dial back your down pressure a touch compared to smooth wheels since the tread grips better. Keep an eye on tire pressure throughout the season—proper inflation keeps the contact patch where it should be for even closure. Having a spare on hand during planting isn’t a bad idea either, because a blown closing wheel tire stops your day just as fast as any other breakdown.
