Tires

[PHIL850]

I measured the tire diameter of both the Turf and the Skid steer ones.
The new tires were approximetly 1/4+ inch larger than the Turf tires. Considering
that the Turfs where well worn out, I believe the new tires to be well with in the original
meassurement. I graded my 1/4 mile driveway this weekend and I must say, the new tires
have much better traction in the dirt than the old balding Turfs. The 25 number you are
refering to, should be the Tire's Diameter, as I read it 25 Daimeter, 8.5" width, and 14" rim.

regards, Phil C.

Hi Phil,

Which size tires did you end up getting from Nebraska Tire? 25x8.50-14 or 23x8.50-14? Reason I ask is because looking at Titan's website it looks like the 23's might be closer to the original Firestone Turfs in rolling circumference.

Thanks,
Dave

Well I did some more research on this and also found a great tire supplier as well
(Nebraska Tire).

Great supplier, Phil. I just got these blems 2 days ago from Nebraska Tire,
for $126 for the pair, delivered. You can see the defect in the carcass if
you look closely....I am not worried about using them. 25x8.5x14 Titans,
but with the 'T's ground off.
