School me on tire sizes...

[Rideking 32]

I hate to admit it, but I know nothing of tires other than going into the local tire place and asking what will fit. However this time I'm in the market for some new tires that I will most likely have to order online. Currently my 310-8 has 15x6.0x6  tires on the front. I'm wanting to put a set of tri-ribs on it - however I can't find a direct replacement in that size. Hopefully someone can "decode" the tire size and help me understand what will fit.

I went thru the same exercise last year with the same result -- I was not able to find (nor was the shop that I use which was tied into big tire distrubutors) tri-ribs that size -- Now if we were willing to put tires on an 8 inch front wheel then tri-ribs were available -- I have the 37" deck so that wheel won't work

Although not a true tri rib it might be your only option

as mentioned go to an 8 inch rim,then you will have options,unless you are funning the 37 mower deck,then the 8 inch don't work because the tire will rub on the deck,i think the tractor looks way better with the bigger tires,one of our local resident tractor salvage guys will have 8 inch rims

You can put 4.00 X 6 triple ribs on those rims, but the sidewalls will be a little bulged out.

I had them on my old pulling tractor:

Thanks for all the great info, I went ahead and ordered a set of the Vredestein V61's this morning. Save the effort of tracking down the 8" rims, plus these tires seem to have good reviews.
