Buying BX 23 tires

[ultrarunner]

Let me know what you find and cost...

I don't regret foam filling my rears... no more flats and extra ballast.... not all the cheap to do.

My BX23 is currently sitting up on blocks because one of the valve stems rotted off one of the rear tires - and I was already running a mongrel setup on the front because I got one flat - and had to replace a left side tire with a tire mounted to go on the right.

So now I'm thinking that I would like to replace the whole set (I've got the ag tires) - with a set of the R4's from a BX24 or BX25.

I'm pretty sure they'll fit - but I seem to remember reading somewhere along the way that front R4's are not the same diameter as the ag tires on the BX23's - and that would screw up the gearing.

If I want to order a set - thru Whole Goods - I just go talk to a salesman - and then wait for them to come in?

Anybody have an idea of what the difference in cost is between doing it that way vs ordering thru the parts counter?

I'm going to want to get the rears loaded too.

Last fall I bought a set of R-4s for my BX 2360 (ordered with turf tires ) mounted on new rims from my salesman through whole goods for around $450.00 . He told me he ordered them just like he was putting them on a new tractor,through the parts dept if I would have ordered probably would have been way more$$$$$$

Thanks - I will give the dealer I bought the tractor from a call during the week. It's been a few years - but I'll just say I want to get a set of tires and wheels for the BX23 I got from them a few years back.

You can replace a bad valve stem, and as for the tire that is running backwards on the front, take it off of the rim and reverse it. None of this is hard to do.
