I think that you will find that on a B series tractor the amount of camber that is dialed in when they are built is the main culprit in tearing up lawns when turning.
My neighbor has a B7610 and compared to my BX2200 (purchased from him), the 7610 has what appears to be almost twice the positive camber on the front wheels. He has turf tires on his machine as do I which leads me to believe that the tires have less to do with the problem than does the front end geometry as if he's not careful he tears up his lawn with the turfs when turning.
I believe that the b series tractors originally did not have power steering and more positive camber was built in to help them steer. (My opinion only).
Note: I also have turfs on my unit.
