Can anyone with Turfs on a B2320 or similar model tell me what brand tires you have front and back?

I had signed the deal for the loan and tractor with R4's and I believe they had to assign a serial number at that time and picked a tractor from another store that was correctly equiped. Next day I asked if I could get Turfs and they said no problem.

But the rear rims look pristine with good year tires and a couple large part numbers stamped on them. GKNxxxx.

The front ones have Carlise tires and the rims look like they had a couple dings and were straightened and touched up. I can also see "Woods" (the brand) color creamy yellow around the edge of the RIM where orange paint is missing. The front RIM has not model numbers like the rear and just a faint 50 on them. There is one ding too they missed on the inside.

Are these stock Kubota front RIMs/Tires?

The tires were clearly all brand new and each tire had a sticker on it.

More questions on tires

According to Kubota Specifies for B2320 DTN (or HST) should have
Front 6 -- 12 R1
Rear 9.5 x 16

But the tractor has
Front 8.5 -- 12 Correction Turf Tires (I thought R1's were Turf)
Rear 12.5 x 15

Is this a problem?

Your tractor is equiped with turf tires (R3) not ag tires (R1).

Kubota lists the following turf tires for your model:
23x8.50-12 (front)
33x12.5-15 (rear)
or
22x8.50-12 (front)
31x15.50-15 (rear)

Ag tires are:
6.00x12 F-2 (front)
9.5-16 R1 (rear)

Great that makes me feel a lot better.

Where did you find that info?

Dealer didn't give me owners manual yet as they say it was at one of their other stores. I'm amazed owners manuals are not on kubota site.

It was on the Kubota website under "build my Kubota" for that model. Tires are listed on the second page under "configure with options".

I visited dealer today that was closed. Turns out mixing and matching tires is pretty common. Some might have goodyear in back and titan in front, then on another size tractor it may be the reverse. The rims are mixed brands too. Most titan tires had titan rims too.
