Going To Re-tire

[tims tractors 119]

I,m hoping some can tell me what is the biggest an widest  rear tire I can get on my stock 

rims on a 1276. And those skinny tires on ebay  will they fit my front rims on the same horse.

Thanks. Tim

Most likely you have 7" wide rims, so 23x8.5s would fit. If by chance you have 8.5" wide, then you can go to a 10.5, or maybe lil wider. Fronts depends on width as well, if you have skinny rims, then you can run skinny tires. Not sure what ones you were looking at...

Lots of choice "donuts" at Miller. http://www.millertire.com/categories/lawn-garden-tires/23x-8-50-12/

 

Thinking of Ag's? I believe the 8.50's, Ag's, excellent service.

10.50 are as wide as you can go on 7" rims. You will get some rounding up of the tread with a lot of air pressure. I have some 23 10.50 12 Carlisle Turf Masters on 7" rims and keep the air pressure low.

I have 23 x 10.50 x 12 tires on 7" rims for the rear. My old front tires were 6.50 x 8, I now have the Dee Stone 4.00 x 8 on the front.

The 4.00 x 8's on the same rims the 6.50's came off?

The Horse looks capable, great!

Yeah you will want to find a set of rear rims off any 520. You can get the wider tire on them and the off set is correct. This pic show the difference. Left is original like you have now and right is the bigger 520 rim with 23.50 x 10.50 ags Be careful when buying new tires. I have seen 23.50 x 10.50 that were knock offs and were about the same width as the 8.50.

I totally agree with Stevebo some of the knock off brands that are supposed to be 10.5 are more like 8.5 so be careful!

I just purchased a set of Duro 10.5's for my project, they measure 10 inches wide... for the price with shipping the best deal out there... for the extra .5 inch I wasn't paying north of 200 for a set of Carlisle before shipping.

I was out in the garage tonight & remembered that I had another set of 10.50's on 7" rims. Thought I'd share.
