Tires M7060 & rear wheel offsets

[Tx Jim]

Hey Tx Jim ! You misunderstood. Ovrszd did NOT suggest anything related to changing the direction of the tread (!) .

I made a mistake mentioning Ovrszd as it was TxBoy that mentioned reversing tires on wheels which is a waste of time. Thanks for heads up on correct direction of travel of cleat tractors tires but I've been aware of that for over 50 yrs. I've seen cleat type tractor tires reversed direction to help lessen wear when traveling a lot on roads with pavement or concrete.

Aren't the valve stems now on the inside with wheels set wider?

That's the position mine are at, and yes, the valve stems are inside.

Yes - in the diagrams in my Owners Manual - four of the eight positions would be with the valve stems on the inside. This would also mean the tire would have to be reversed on the rims. If you wanted the - "chevron rolling forward" setting.

This was just talked about above. The tire is never removed from the rim for correct rotation on any of the settings. They are simply moved side to side.

TexasBoy comparing photo's of your tractor's rear wheel tread & herkypilots tractor rear wheel tread the latter is wider. Plus your tractor wheels valve stem are outside & his are inside which makes a difference in location of mounting brackets on the rims. Relocating valve stem from outside to inside makes a lot of difference in wheel tread spacing.

Like I was trying to convey earlier, the only way to get the setup the other fella has, is to removed the R1 tire from the wheel, and turn it around with the lugs going the other way.

One doesn't have to remove tire from wheel to widen wheel tread. Where are you getting this incorrect information? I'll guess incorrect info is coming from an uninformed dealer. All one has to do is relocate present RH tire/wheel to LH side then vice-verse with other tire/wheel. Then valve stem will go from outside wheel to inside the wheel.

Sir, its not my goal to quarrel with anyone online and Im not going to go back and forth with you. Please feel free to come to whatever conclusions work for you.

Cheers.

Sir I'm not attempting to quarrel with you BUT explain what I know is true from yrs of pre-delivery inspections aka PDI (preparing new tractors for new owners) while employed at a tractor/equipment dealership. Changing tire direction on rims is an unnecessary expense to widen rear tread width. Believe ALL the incorrect information you desire to because I will not reply to another one of your posts again.
I hope you have a very pleasant day,Jim
