1951 Ford F-3 Marmon-Herrington 4X4 Flatbed Truck For Sale
I'll use Stu's link here. The rear tires on this R32 are just like two tires on mine. I can't remember the brand. They have a large chevron pattern, just not solid like the old Firestone Ground Grips. I think the other two were the old Coop Country Squires. I had a 1956 IHC S120 4wd when I was a kid that had the old style Coop CS tires. Not sure if they were original or not. Should have asked the owner when I had the chance all those years ago. I would doubt it, since Coop tires were regional.
Barring any luck of finding some NOS vintage Goodyear/Firestone traction tires or early traction pattern tires like Stu found, I may choose the Firestone highway tread such as those offered by Coker, in blackwall, of course. Kind of doubt that I'll be using it for a mud hog when I'm done with it.

I am thinking about trying a set of these retreads, my truck seldom leaves the farm and is almost always on dirt. $91.00 per tire plus shipping.

I used to be into off road trucks world big time before I found my F-1. I have heard alot of positive feedback on tradwright tires. I have heard if you order a set make sure it's a matched set. I seen some people complain that 3 of there tires were Goodyear and one was BF goodrich.

I thought the same about using highway tires if I hadn't found the Coopers. Mine will never spend much time off-roading either, unless you consider riding on the trailer as off-road. I like the STA Super Transports in our 17" size. Made in the USA too. I've also thought that if I ever find a set of 18" Budds I'd like the STA Super Traxions like in this second pic. Too bad those aren't available in a 17" or 19.5". Stu

Tire Tread
The tread pattern in your pic resembles Firestone Super All Traction N/D's.
My 87 F350 4/4 came new with them on , super bite not very good wear.
They are no longer made by Firestone but some of the specialty tire companys still make some on spec . The local retreader has quite a few different tread patterns , some are very aggressive they told me that they will put any tread on that I want. Contact your local big truck retreader for whats available. Go on line and google Bandag for what they have.
