Nanco is a good tire, but Carlisle is best easily. The Nanco is going to be a bit smaller in actual dimensions than the Carlisle despite having the same size molded into the tire.

Take a look at Genes site and look around a little bit. He gives you the actual dimensions of the two. There are also variations in tread style as well. Then you can pick the one that will fit and look the best on your tractor.
Myself I go for size when my banker will let me.

I've had Nanco's & not any problems...good tires. You will be satisfied. I just prefer Carlisle, but a hundred bucks is a lot of cash!

Several opinions were expressed that the Carlisle is better but I did not see much in the way of information to explain why the Carlisle is superior. Are these opinions based on personal experience where both tires were tested and the Nanco was found wanting for some reason or are people just taking a shot in the dark based upon the photos of the two tires?
If someone has tested both brands of the same size on the same tractor, then I can understand that an opinion would be formed that was based on that personal experience. I could then ask some questions such as "How dramatic was the difference?" or "Did one perform better only in muddy soil or was the difference apparent in all types of soil? or " Were you careful in making sure both tires brands were inflated to the same PSI rating?
Isn't this what it's all about? PERFORMANCE???? Or is this just a "bling thing"? IE: "The Carlisles look gnarlier than the Nanco's so that makes them better."
I've been watching this thread closely in the hopes of seeing some information I could sink my teeth into but so far, that just has not materialized. I've been thinking about building a puller for the stock class to have some fun with so tire traction is going to be an issue. Does anyone on this forum have some real-life experience using the Nanco's on a puller?
