Tires Wider front tires on a 1910

jeff77indy · Jan 6, 2007

I would like to put wider rubber on the front of my 1910 fwd.
Can this be done without much pain? The wheels would need to changed to a wider wheel with a deeper offset.
Is the lug pattern the same from the 1910 to the newer NH CUTs since they are still made by the same company in Japan?
Has anyone attempted this?
Thanks.

The wheel bolt circle and pilot hole are different on TC models as compared to your 1910. Wider tires will mean custom rims and the need to match the rolling circumference/ static loaded radius very nearly to the tire size you now have. Tire data listed on most any Ag tire manufacturer's website will assist you in choosing a proper tire size. Unverfurth is one possible source of custom rims, but you will have to go through their dealer network. Substantially wider tires on the front of a 1910 will make already marginal power assisted steering even more marginal.

i considered this for my 1720. Some people have turned the wheels around. I think that would be OK if you don't do loader work etc. but I wouldn't turn mine. And if your 1920 has bigger tires than mine I'm sure. When i turn it all the way one way and 'bottom' out the axle pivot. I am was close to the loader frame. So any wider tire would most likely hit the frame.If you have any luck tho be sure to let us know. ...

On my Ford 1300 4x4, I was advised by service dept. not to turn wheels around (swap sides) due to the way the load would be moved to the outside of the steering knuckle/transaxle. Like carrying a stack of schoolbooks close to your chest vs at arms length.

Why do you want wider front tires? Is it for stabilityor to carry more weight.

Thats right you shouldnt move them out, But I have seen many that have. I just wouldnt with a loader on it.

You must keep same height and rolling diameter for the FWD to work properly. This is easier said than done. All I wanted was a 6 ply ture tire for my TC 29 on the front. Could not find a match for the Titans that are on it now. I would give the tire specs to a tire dealer along with the rim specs and the tire dealer should be able to tell you what the biggest ( widest) tire that will fit your current rim and keep the same Rolling Circumference. You may want to check out the Titan tire ( Goodyear now owns them) web page.
