I've had no blonde moments lately, just a lot of senior moments.

I'm not quite old enough to be saying that just yet:D I usually dont have too many blonde moments, but I give the wife a hard time cause she seems to have quite a few. But she is indeed a blonde:laughing:

Just as an afterthought, the thing that is confusing, to me at least, is when saying that the front wheels need to turn "faster" to get lead. Faster, in this senario means more surface speed on the tread rather than more rpm. The larger tire, of course, has more surface speed at the same rpm as a smaller tire.

So if im going from a 9.5-24 to a 11-24 on the front I will not have any issues,(the new tires look cple inches taller)? Rears are 16.9-28.....

Hard to say. You will be leading MORE. But there does come a point where TOO much lead would cause a problem. But ANY amount of lag is bad. Jumping up that much is about a 4.5% increase in lead. Everything I have read says about 5% max lead. If you were already at 2-3%, that may be too much???
