I am new here so I apologize if this in the wrong forum. I have a John Deere 2640 that needs new rear tires. The tractor currently has 15.5 x 38 on it and a few years ago I bought some nice used 16.9 x 38. I was about to put the 16.9's on this weekend when a friend said it wouldn't pull nearly as good. Now after some research I realize the 16.9 is a good bit taller than the 15.5's (never bothered to measure either before). The tractor is kind of slow on the road. Would the 16.9's be a good fit on the rear of a 2640 or should I find some 15.5's? This might be a silly question for someone who already owns a set of tires to ask but this will probably be the last set of rubber this tractor will ever need and I don't want to be disappointed. Thanks in advance.
