Tractor & Agricultural Tires in Elgin, IL

Heavy-Duty Agricultural Tire Services for Elgin-Area Farms & Operations

Queens Auto Services is the go-to source for tractor tires, combine tires, and implement tires in the Elgin, IL area. Whether you're running a grain operation out near Pingree Grove, managing livestock in Carpentersville, or maintaining acreage along the I-90 corridor, we stock and service the agricultural rubber that keeps your equipment in the field and your season on schedule. Call us at (224) 635-3000 or bring your equipment to our shop at 1303 Dundee Ave, Elgin.

We carry a full range of ag tires from trusted manufacturers including Michelin Ag, Goodyear Farm, Bridgestone, and Carlisle. From standard R-1 lug tread for row-crop tractors to R-4 industrial tread for loader work, we match the right tire to your soil conditions, equipment weight, and workload.

Tractor Tire Sales & Installation

Choosing the right tractor tire comes down to more than just size. Our technicians evaluate your ply rating, load index, bias vs. radial construction, and tread pattern to recommend a tire that delivers maximum traction without excessive compaction. We service everything from compact utility tractors (25-50 HP) running turf-friendly R-3 tread to high-horsepower row-crop machines on aggressive R-1W deep-lug rubber.

Every tractor tire installation at our Dundee Ave shop includes:

• Professional mounting with heavy-duty equipment rated for ag rims up to 46 inches
• Bead seating and inflation to manufacturer-specified PSI for optimal footprint
• Rim inspection for cracks, corrosion, and valve stem integrity
• Torque-to-spec on all hardware

We also service front tractor tires, including tri-rib and multi-rib steering tires that are critical for row tracking and implement guidance systems.

Tractor Tire Ballasting & Rim Guard

Proper ballast is the difference between spinning in a wet field and pulling through. We offer liquid tire ballasting services using calcium chloride, beet juice-based solutions, and rim guard products. Ballasting adds weight low in the tire for improved traction and stability, especially critical for 3-point hitch implements and front-end loader work.

Our ballasting service includes calculating the correct fill percentage based on your tractor's weight distribution, axle ratings, and typical implement load. We also handle ballast removal when you need to swap tires for road transport or seasonal changes.

Combine, Implement & Specialty Ag Tires

Beyond tractors, we stock and service tires for the full range of farm equipment common in the Fox River Valley:

• Combine tires — High-flotation tires designed to distribute weight across soft field conditions. We carry standard and IF (Increased Flexion) sizes for modern combines.
• Grain cart and wagon tires — Heavy load-range tires rated for the tonnage of full harvest loads.
• Implement tires — Including planter tires, drill press wheels, and hay rake tires in both bias and radial.
• Skid-steer and compact loader tires — For the crossover equipment common on smaller Elgin-area farms.

We serve agricultural operations across Elgin, South Elgin, Pingree Grove, Hampshire, Gilberts, and Carpentersville. If your equipment is down during planting or harvest, we prioritize fast turnaround because we understand that every hour in the shop is an hour out of the field.

Why Elgin-Area Farmers Choose Queens Auto Services

Unlike big-box tire retailers, we understand the specific demands of Illinois agriculture. The clay-heavy soils in Kane County require different tread patterns than sandy loam. The freeze-thaw cycles along the Fox River Valley accelerate rim corrosion that compromises bead seals. We've built our ag tire program around these local realities.

Our shop on Dundee Ave is equipped with heavy-duty mounting machines, hydraulic bead breakers, and the technical knowledge to handle tires from 12-inch implement wheels to 46-inch rear tractor rims. We stock popular sizes and can source specialty tires within 24-48 hours through our distributor network.
