ducky 1 #1 Posted November 27, 2010 OK I'm pulling my hair out on this. the front tires that are on my 1968 raider 9 are 4-4.80x8 and the look too tall and the manual says the tire size should be 16-5.50x8 what is the difference in the tire sizes? and dose it matter if they are taller or shorter?

wheelhorse656 20 #2 Posted November 27, 2010 on some tractors i think it was an option because in my manual it says 4 x4.80x8 but on the front cover it has the wider taler tires and in the front of the manual where it shows tire assembly it says 16-5.50x8. so it might have came with either or size not sure for sure though. the other tires are wider and look better on the bigger tractors like 10hp and up i think. :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
littleredrider 409 #3 Posted November 27, 2010 They are both roughly the same size height wise, just the 6.5 will be a wider tire. More like a flotation tire, whereas the other skinny tire will sink in mud or soft soil. I usually like the fat look, but something about the "big and little" looks good. (Fat tire out back, skinny up front, like old school hot rods and drag cars). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
