Complete solutions for East Coast farming operations, from New York to South Carolina. In-stock Alliance/Galaxy, Firestone, Bridgestone, MAXAM, Trelleborg, and Mitas. IF/VF technology, fluid fill, and on-farm mobile service.
Section 01 · About Our AG Division
McCarthy Tire Service is a fourth-generation, family-owned company and the fourth-largest independent commercial tire dealer in the United States. Our Agriculture Division has been supplying and servicing East Coast farming operations from New York to South Carolina with the right tire, the right technology, and the right service for decades.
We carry a complete, in-stock inventory of major agriculture tire brands including Alliance/Galaxy, Firestone, Bridgestone, MAXAM, Trelleborg, and Mitas, sourced factory-direct for competitive pricing with no shipping fees within our geographic footprint. Our program covers every machine on your farm: tractors, sprayers, implements, spreaders, balers, and rubber tracks.
Our service program goes well beyond the sale. We provide professional installation, on-farm mobile service, fluid fill (Bio-Ballast), and warranty facilitation so you can focus on your operation, not your tires.
Interested in IF/VF technology? Bio-Ballast fluid fill? Technical support for your equipment? Contact Austin Hale, Ag Division Director, at 443.602.6636 for a complimentary consultation.
Section 02 · Equipment We Serve
Every piece of farm equipment has unique load, speed, and terrain requirements. We stock the right tire for each application and know the technical differences that matter to your bottom line.
Drive, front, and rear tires for row-crop, 4WD, and MFWD tractors ranging from 60 to 500+ HP. R1 (standard lug), R1W (wide lug for wet conditions), and R2 (rice and cane) patterns available. Radial and bias-ply options across all major sizes. IF/VF technology available for reduced soil compaction and higher load capacity.
Alliance/Galaxy · Firestone · Bridgestone · MAXAM · Trelleborg · Mitas
IF/VF AvailableSelf-propelled and pull-type sprayers require tires built for high road speeds and maximum flotation in the field. Sprayer-specific designs with wider lugs reduce road wear while maintaining traction in wet, planted fields. IF/VF technology is especially effective here, allowing lower inflation pressure without sacrificing load capacity.
Alliance/Galaxy · Firestone · Bridgestone · MAXAM · Trelleborg· Mitas
IF/VF AvailablePlanters, balers, spreaders, wagons, grain carts, and ag trailers require high-load, puncture-resistant implement tires rated for both field and road duty. We stock flotation and standard implement sizes across all major brands with fast turnaround and no shipping fees in our footprint.
Alliance/Galaxy · Firestone · MAXAM · Mitas
Rubber tracks for tractors and harvesting equipment offer superior flotation and dramatically reduced soil compaction compared to conventional tires, particularly on the wet, heavy soils common across the mid-Atlantic and Southeast. McCarthy supplies and services rubber tracks with on-farm installation available.

Skid steers, compact utility tractors, loader backhoes, and telehandlers used on the farm require industrial-duty tires suited for mixed terrain. We stock turf, hard-surface, and all-terrain patterns for compact equipment across all major brands at competitive factory-direct pricing.
Alliance/Galaxy · Firestone · MAXAM · Mitas
Drive and steering tires for combines, forage harvesters, and grain carts operating under extreme load during harvest. High-carcass strength, puncture-resistant construction built for the demanding conditions of East Coast harvest seasons. Fast turnaround on common harvester sizes in our in-stock inventory.

Section 03 · Technology
IF (Improved Flexion) and VF (Very High Flexion) tires are the most significant advancement in farm tire technology in decades. IF tires carry 20% more load at the same inflation pressure as a standard tire. VF tires carry 40% more load.
What does that mean for your East Coast operation? You can run lower inflation pressure in the field without sacrificing load capacity. Lower pressure means a larger footprint, reduced soil compaction, better traction, and less wheel slip, all of which translate to lower fuel costs and higher yields over time.
IF/VF technology is available across tractor and sprayer tire lines from Alliance/Galaxy, Firestone, Bridgestone, MAXAM, and Trelleborg. Contact Austin Hale at 443.602.6636 to learn if IF/VF tires are the right investment for your specific equipment and acreage.
Rated for specified load at rated inflation pressure. Higher field pressure means smaller footprint, more soil compaction, and increased wheel slip.
BaselineCarry 20% more load at the same inflation pressure as a standard tire. Flex sidewall technology allows lower pressure in the field without sacrificing rated capacity.
+20% Load CapacityCarry 40% more load at the same inflation pressure. Maximum soil contact area, minimum compaction. Ideal for high-horsepower tractors and loaded sprayers.
+40% Load CapacityMid-Atlantic and Southeast soils are often wet, heavy, and prone to compaction. Lower tire pressure from IF/VF technology helps preserve yield potential across your entire acreage.

Request a Trade-In Quote →Section 06 · Fluid Fill
Adding ballast weight to your tractor tires is one of the most cost-effective ways to improve traction, reduce wheel slip, and increase productivity on your farm. McCarthy Tire uses Bio-Blast, a non-corrosive, environmentally safe substitute for calcium chloride that is biodegradable and safe around humans, animals, and plants.
Traditional calcium chloride is corrosive to rims and wheels and poses environmental risks. Bio-Blast eliminates those concerns while delivering the same ballast performance at comparable cost.
Not sure how much fluid your tires need? Use the Envirotech Tire Ballast Filling Guide to calculate the correct fill amount. Or call Austin Hale at 443.602.6636 for expert guidance.
Non-toxic and biodegradable. Safe for farm workers, children, and anyone on your property.
Bio-Blast poses no risk to livestock, pets, or wildlife. No calcium chloride contamination risk.
Environmentally safe substitute that does not harm soil biology, crops, or waterways.
Protects your rims and wheels from the corrosion caused by calcium chloride, extending wheel life.
Section 07 · Technical Resources
Selecting and maintaining the right ag tire involves more than brand preference. Load index, speed ratings, correct inflation, and proper setup all directly affect performance, soil health, and your operating costs.
Pro Tips from East Coast Farmers
Running field pressure on the road increases wear; running road pressure in the field increases compaction and fuel cost. Adjust inflation for each environment, or invest in IF/VF technology for more flexibility.
Trade-in value drops steeply below 75% tread. Replacing before that point captures more value toward your next set and avoids the costly wheel slip of worn lugs during critical planting and harvest windows.
Mid-Atlantic and Southeast soils are some of the most compaction-sensitive in the country. Wider flotation tires, dual configurations, or tracks distribute load over a larger footprint, protecting future yields.
McCarthy charges no shipping fees within our East Coast geographic footprint. For large equipment or urgent replacement needs, the savings on delivery vs. other suppliers can be significant.
Not every brand performs the same on every soil type. Call Austin Hale at 443.602.6636 for a frank conversation about which tire from our lineup is the right fit for your specific operation, terrain, and equipment.

Section 11 · Regional Service Area
McCarthy Tire's Agriculture Division operates across an eight-state East Coast footprint, with multiple service locations, an extensive on-farm mobile service fleet, and factory-direct inventory staged for rapid fulfillment throughout the region.
East Coast farming operations face unique challenges: heavy, wet soils prone to compaction from the mid-Atlantic Coastal Plain to the Piedmont; narrow row-crop windows driven by shorter growing seasons in New York and Pennsylvania; and high-horsepower equipment pushing yield margins in the Carolina grain and row-crop belt.
Our AG team understands these regional nuances and can recommend the right tire technology and service program for your specific geography, soil type, and crop mix. Call Austin Hale at 443.602.6636 to discuss your region.
