Tires on L235

[Bumble]

Hi
I meed new front tires on my L235, it currently has turf tires and I want to go to industrial tires. I can't afford to new wheels and tires so ag tires are out of the question???

I can only find "skid steer" tires in the same size as recommended 25x8.5x14.


Any addvise

Kubota uses a lot of TITAN tires. This link is a typical tire in your size.

Don't try mixing industrial and turf unless you are really sure about the overall diameter of the tires. The front tire is supposed to pull the rear by a few percentage points when in 4wd.

In another thread here several folks said you can get tires mounted on wheels cheaper than just the tires! I'd have a serious look at that before I sprang for R4's. Frankly, I'd rather have the R1's.

I found a pair of 25x8.50.14 used R4 at Yinglings Tractor Parts. They are in Gettysburg, PA. Nice folks to deal with. They were not on Kubota rims so I passed on the pair and bought a single turf to match what I have. Give them a call and see what shipping to the Great White North would go.
