Hello! Newbie here. I have not found a way to search the threads yet, so I hope I am not starting up an old topic. I just got a job as a caretaker where I do a lot of road work, mowing, and some backhoe work. The Kubota M9000 that the club owns has R1 (ag) tires. I have 18.4-30 on the back and 12.4-24 on the front. I would like to put R4 (construction) tires on it for all the road work I do. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance!
R4 tires for M9000?

I doubt that you can put industrial tires on those wheels. I would contact your local ag tire shop. They can possibly recommend a tire and wheel package that keep your rolling radius in spec.
Do you have front fenders?

When you say road work what does that mean?
My M9000 has ag tires that still look great and they're 15 years old.

I do not have front fenders. I did find out I'll have to swap wheels and I do have to keep the front/rear tire ratio for the 4wd. I mostly do gravel road maintenance. My ag tires are shot! Ag tractor/tire dealers and heavy equipment tire shops in Colorado Springs have not been helpful so far. I know somebody somewhere has done it.
What brand tires do you have now?
I ask because some tires even name brand are way worse to wear. I had a set of Bridgestone fronts and they were junk. My best as far as wear goes have been Titan's. R4's may be what you need but I wouldn't want them on mine.
