Tire size for 3600 or 335 Industrial

[petebert]

Tractor is a 335 industrial dressed up to look like a 3600 and is being used for farm use. I believe being the industrial it has a bigger front axle if that makes any difference.

According to tractordata.com the 3600 uses a 6.0-16 front tire and the 335 a 6.5-16. At some point somebody put a set of 7.5-16's on this tractor. I can't figure out how to convert these tire sizes, looks like 6.0 is 28.5" tall vs 31 for the 7.5? The size of the 7.5s seem to work fine.

Any recommendations for replacement front tires? The ones up there are in terrible shape, I'm amazed they still hold air. I found a set of 6.00-16 6 ply tires for a good price. What about just using some load range E truck tires, 225/75 or 235/85?

The truck tires are going to be far stronger, but will not ride or steer as well as a tractor tire. I have 6:00 x 16 front tires on my 1710, they bulge pretty good with load, and they are 6 ply. I think 4 ply would fall apart.
