Tires Are my tires mounted right?

[bill18163]

I am having trouble trying to find out if my R4 tires are mounted correct. Like are the bars going in the right direction. Does anyone have a picture of the correct way the bars should be running?

Here you go.

From the top, the treads should form a "V" that points forward. The tracks left on the ground will be pointing opposite the direction of travel.

I'll second that photo............

Thanks guys. My tires are on wrong. I'll have to switch the tires to get them right.

How did they get on the tractor wrong?

Well lets see LB? Maybe a guy is going around at night and switching peoples tires around. I mean come on. Either the dealer or the owner put them own the wrong side.

Not trying to be a smart______ but how did you really think they got on wrong? Someone just made a honest mistake.

Some one might have switched them for a wider or narrower track if the bolt plate in the rim is off set.
Make sure you check the clearance after you switch them.
If they do hit you will have to demount tires and spin them on the rim and remount them in the other direction.

if you have them on wrong they will work good for pulling back out of a hole....only heard a small few to run them that way just for backing out of a hole.....but not me I'm going straight threw the hole lol...

If you take the tire off, flip it and put it back on the same side I agree with you... but if you put it on the other side of the tractor with the same rim orientation then you get the same offset but 'arrows' going the other way.... right?
