I am a professional mechanic at a New Holland dealership. I have attended New Holland, CaseIH, Kuhn, and Gehl service training over the last 9 years. One of my current projects is a NH8670. Previously, I operated farm equipment and tractors up to 200hp with MFD. I don't know everything, but I am on firm ground here.I did not dispute the perils of mismatched tires on the same axle. Matching loaded radii to original spec will eliminate lead/lag related problems, period. Different brands or tread style WILL NOT cause driveline wind-up if selected properly; using tires with the incorrect loaded radius will. You should realize we are saying substantially the same thing!
