Anyone mix R-4's with Turf?

this probably won't make any difference because 1) you probably have 4wd and 2) you probably have power steering. But for anyone like me I had turfs all the way around on my no 4wd and non PS L2500. I could only afford rear R-1's at the time and left the turfs on the front. Eventually I put 3 rib tires on the front. Felt like I got power steering all of a sudden. About 10 times easier to turn.

I eventually sold all my turfs.

Get a cheap seamstress tape to measure the circumference of both tires. If they are the same or very close you should be ok. You could try a tape measure but it'll not be as accurate or easy.

*============Why not I thought it was 12 inches to the foot for either one?=============

Cause a metal tape deosn't bend as well or could kink differently when wrapping around a round object.

You could also check the tire manufacturers website for the specs on the tires. They usually post things like circumference based on size.

Thanks megaboz, LBrown obviously doesn't always think before he types, trying to make someone else look stupid and only doses it to himself.

I'm sure it was an honest mistake. Most everyone if not everyone usually has valuable information that they freely take time to donate, even if it might have been answered in a previous thread. This is one of the few forums I have been on where almost all the people are civil and not judgemental. Just give them a chance. It is very easy to mis-read people's intentions in a text only universe.

Sorry it was taken wrong.

That's the one thing that stinks about these forums, it is hard to make a joke without someone taking it the wrong way, flying off the handle, or jumping to conclusions. You know, sometimes it just feels like when I talk to my wife. I talk, she doesn't answer until the next day, then I get an ear full.

People need not to get all fired up so easily on these forums. I just did that "assume" thing, and we all know what that means. (BTW, that was a joke.) I only answered LBrown59 original statement. And hopefully I did that without being a butt.

Oh well, all is fair in love and war. Whatever that is supposed to mean.
