I am thinking of getting the BKT TR-315 tires, but I would like some recommendations from you guys on some 23x10.5-12's that are actually 10.5 or close to it wide

 

I have two sets here for future use.  

I may have put measurements in the "Let's Talk Tires" thread. 

 

I do NOT have them mounted at this time. They do appear to be a decent usable size.

Thank you very much!! It seems like the more you spend the more tire you get haha. Honestly it's probably sufficient width for what I want. 

 

I was just curious about what other people run in that size for AGs other then deestones and tru powers.

There are a bunch "options" on the jungle site not sure how many are the same tire and they are about the same price as these BKT's anyway. 

I am curious about the Horseshoe brand tire 10ply is pretty stiff for a garden tractor though.

I chose the BKTS because they looked to be close to accurate in stated size, and I like the square cut of the tread blocks.  

Not as good as the Carlisle Tru Power or the OTR Lawn Trac, but good.

..... will probably require equipment to mount.

Got a good laugh out of watching the guys at the tire shop mounting 6 ply for me. 10 ply might be tough!

Got my work area cleaned up naturally I forgot to take a before photo. But I added in a post for roof support that needed put in.

And removed 4 other posts that weren't structural,

this was used for cattle at one point and the posts were for a chute. With boards nailed to them of course. 

It really opened up the usable space removing those posts.

 

Probably going to pull the tractor out and power wash it before taking it apart. Not sure if I will start that this week or not supposed to get pretty hot 

[AlexR 1,816]

Power washed the tractor off to make disassembly less messy. 

 

 

 

Then changed the rear wheels to see how they fit pretty positive I am going with the BKT 315 TR's 

 

 

 

And rear view with the old rims and tires.

IMHO the wide rear is a requirement.
