10.50's on 8-1/2" rims works fine - but 10.50's on a 6" is a bit , uh , balloonish...lol . We used to run 12.50's on 8" wheels just to help retain the beads , but that's a whole different animal .

I have the same problem. Lots of hills. I moved the seat back as far as it would go and lean towards the top of the hill. New wider tires at lower pressure helped a lot.

Use the hydraulics to slow down. The brake will lock the unloaded wheel leaving a giant skid mark that can be seen from the street. Not saying that happened... No one screamed ether :)

 

I'm running 23x10.5x12 at  5 psi and could have fit 23x12x12. I have a 417a and looks to be similar to yours.

Check the clearance on the inside of your current tires to the closes thing to them. if you go two inches wider they will be one inch closer.

Careful with the height of the tire. It will cost you torque if you go taller.

 

Important note, horses are herd animals. If you keep it long enough more will show up.
