Tire issue with my B2150

[Xplorer]

Hello all. I have a B2150 that has slightly oversized tires that were installed by the previous owner. Current size is 24x8.50-12" front and 13.6x16 rears. All are turf tires and use chains on the front for snow removal. The fronts have been plugged several times and are very dry rotted. The 1 front needs air every time I use the tractor and the other front is almost as bad. Original tire sizes were 6.50x10 front and 12.4x16 rear. Rears are in good shape, but need front tires. Have checked around and found that they discontinued 24x8.5-12's. I'm told that I need to buy new rears and front wheels and tires for many $$$. Anybody know any cheaper solutions? TIA

I did a search and there is a seller on ebay. Just passing on the info.

You can replace the front's with 24x9.50 x12's which are the same height just 1" wider if you can't find the 24x8.50x12"

Take into consideration the ratio of the front circumference to the rear circumference. That ratio should be maintained. Changing that ratio can increase wear in the drive mechanism of the tractor.

Check with vendor member millertire. He is very helpful in situations such as yours.

I have a B2150 with turf tires. The fronts are 23x8.50-12 4PR. The rear are 13.6-16 4 PR. That's what is in the Kubota manual I have.
