Change in tire size?

Recommended Posts

Schrec050584

Does anyone know if on my 312-8 wheel horse can i go bigger or smaller on front so i can get a better gripping steering tire? On the back i plan on going with a 23 ag tire. What are recommendations for tires and sizes. I also have a snowblower on it and run into steering grip issues. Any input is appreciated and maybe site to go to get good deal on tires.

Swap out the front spindles (from a C Series or 400 series) and go for 8 " wheels ,

:WRS:        The best solution for front tire traction on snow and ice is to deflate the tire, wrap #60 chain lengthwise around the tire, secure it with a master link and inflate the tire. You can buy it at any good hardware store or industrial supply.

I put front tire chains on my 520 h and they work great 👍🏻

the 312-8 ran a 6" tire, Some 300 and the 400 and 500 series ran a 16x6.50x8 front tire, put an add in the wanted section here on RS and hopefully somebody close to you may have a set of spindles and rims that you need to do the swap. I'm not 100% sure but I believe the 6" tires were 15x6x6 or something close to that, it should be on the tire someplace. good luck

I'll add a second vote here for the roller chain.

I ordered some online that was very very reasonable in price.

I'll try to remember to send you a link via pm.
