BX 2370 wheels and tires on my 1870

I came apon a great deal on a full set of the industrial tires with wheels with 40 hrs of use. it even came with a 5th a spare front tire and wheel.
so i put them on my 1870 for now, I only plan on useing them till grass cutting time. i think by next winter i will have the rears filled and use them when i use it for snow. It sure looks tough with them instead of the turf tires.

Have you tried to see if the mower deck works with the larger tires? I wish there were a larger set of tires that fit on the bx23 to get a bit more ground clearance.

I did not install the MMM with the BX23 tires and wheels but the 54 deck seems like it is wide enough to fit. the BX23 tires and wheels are larger then the BX18. all the BX23 rear tires run close to the front edge of the rear fender so I dont think you can go bigger unless you mod. your fenders. and keep in mind the 4x4 if you go 5% larger on the rear then you need to be 5% larger on the front.
