no, but the off-rim circumference was so close to perfect, and only 2” longer than the advertised RC, so I just rolled with it. Holding the off-rim and mounted tire side by side off the tractor, there was about a .5” difference in diameter. either way, no binding in 4x4 whatsoever. Even when...

Correct. check the Carlisle chart for the RC before you buy tho. Make sure you get something that will work properly. you can run tubed or tubeless. I tried running tubeless but my rim was leaking so I had to put tubes in.

dude those weights fell into my lap. 50+ lbs each and $75 for the pair. Made a huge difference in ballast with a full bucket. Still need to fill the new tires. Haven’t drug anything with the new weights but I imagine it will massively help

Left to right. Tires 1 and 3 are the old tires. 2 4 and 5 are new tires. 1&2 and 3&4 are stock sizes. 6-12, and 8-16. Stock sizes... Should work, but absolutely mis-matched based on rolling circumference. (Old tires are worse because the rears were heavily worn, and the fronts were only...

Well the 9.5-16 worked!!!! Just drove it up and down the street in 4x4 and no binding at all. Very easy to put it in and out of 4x4 at all times LOOK AT THE TIRE DIFFERENCE! And the math worked out too, so I’m happy to see that it really did work. 6-12, 6-12, 8-16, 8-16, 9.5-16 on rim

Ok, my Carlisle Farm Specialist 9.5-16's came in! Part Number 6x17413 Pairing with the original 6-12's I ordered (570030) In the red "test rear" block is the off-rim MEASURED circumfrerence around the center of the tire, In the red "test front" block is the listed rolling circumference. (I...

So is my math above wrong then? I also have 8” wide wheels. Not sure if that Becomes an issue for tires that were designed to go on 6 inch wide wheels.

im aware of “smushed from stacked” vs designed a certain way. The new 8-16 Tires are definitely designed for 6” rims. found the OEM tire specs, and looked them up, did math, and it came out to about 5% lead on the front. What crazy is I probably had a 15% lead with the old rears and newer...

Maybe @North Idaho Wolfman has some insight?

Double posted with my other thread... Probably a no-no, but oh well... Ok, Been doing a bunch more reading. My rear R1 WHEELS are 16x8, and had 8-16's on them before. My NEW R1 Tires are Carlisle Farm Specialist 8-16. Didn't know this before, but the specs sheet online specifies a 6 inch...

I decided to make a new post to hopefully get more attention and solve this issue. I bought a set of turf wheels and tires to have the tractor mobile while I swap out my R1 tires, and to also use once my lawn grows in (instead of the R1’s). Fronts are 20.5 and I think that’s the wrong size...

Ok. The rage continues. Tires are straight up too skinny and now I can’t return them because they’ve been mounted. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 On top of that, the one rim I finished is leaking, so now I get to re-break it and try to find tubes. So much for getting anything done this weekend. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
