So came home from vacation to find water leaking out of a small cut in the sidewall on the back tire on my XJ2025H. The tractor is 1 year old and only has 90 hours on it. I called around and found a local place that put a new tire on for $212. The rear tires are 12-16.5 which I have discovered is an extremely popular skid steer tire size which is probably why everyone had that size in stock. So they mounted a new one up, took my $212 and sent me on my way. So now at home I have the new tire bolted on. The skid steer tire is a 12 ply and looks super stiff compared to the cheap "Tiron" brand 6 ply China tires that came on there. Anyone have any thoughts or input on this? I called my LS dealer prior to shopping for a tire and they told me to just find a tire that was the correct size and said to not worry about mix matches tires since I only had 90 hours of wear on my other rear tire. Are skid steer tires OK to run on my little tractor??
