My 855 had some bald, cracking, turf tires on the rear when I bought it. It still performed pretty good as long as I didn't get it in wet clay with a load to pull but I wanted new tires for the rear. Found some 33x12.50x15 Adventuro mud grips on that auction site. Paid $300 for the pair shipped from Discount Tire Direct. They look like they will work as well or better than new turfs at a fraction of the cost. Have not run them for work yet so this is not an endorsement or final review.
Here is what the old tires looked like:
Here are the new tires. They came with raised white letters so I cleaned the blue stuff off and sprayed them with some flat black.
Changing them with a HF manual tire changer ain't the most fun you ever had but the process goes okay using a little creativity and some vise grips.
TIP: Don't put the new valve stems in till the tire is mounted or you will find them pulled out and down inside the tire. (learned this the hard way) The rears take the large diameter stems and the fronts take the smalls.
And finally here they are on the rims and tractor. I decided to put them back on in the narrow position since my turfs were packing down the outside areas of my 4' disc harrows.
