Tire Selection Kubota RTV 500 Tire size

[rlgarcia37]

Kubota RTV 500 stocker, unmolested, RTV and I am due for my first tire change. Does anyone here know of any other tire size larger than stock that can be upgraded to fit stock rims and without altering anything and no harm to the machine? My Kubota dealer was no help with a correct answer other than stock. Was only looking to upsize 1 or 2 inches taller or wider. I have searched the internet but also no sure answer. I have done measurement under the RTV and sure looks like the room is there. I just was looking for past experencince with the tires. Choices are limited at these sizes and just didn't want a $400+ mistake. Front is 24 x 9 - 12 and rear is 24 x 11 - 12 , 14PSI STOCK.

You are from TX, so I assume you have no hills around you? We have MILD hills at my house, and even with them, in H range, it will slow way down trying the climb them. Basically I go everywhere with my foot to the floor LOL. I have the HD tires, so they may be heavier, but I would think adding 1-2" in diameter would add more rolling mass and slow the machine down.

Just my thoughts. Looking back, wish I had went with a 900 or 1100 diesel model

Thanks but I do have a few Hills around but not much of a Street driver. After research difference in tire weight is approximately 3 lb, my Kubota has been a trooper and has answered the calls for everything I do, just wanting to see if anyone else has gone taller not not wider? We have multiple 900 diesels in 1100 diesels kubota's at my work, I really like them but they're a little noisy but the power is the trade-off or torque.
