Model 72 tire opinons
 

I need to replace the tires on my 72. Should I stick with the 6/12s for the rear or do you guys have other thoughts? Thanks.

I used her to pull some limbs I cut yesterday. No action shot but took a pic before putting it away. The first time I've started it since last year and it turned over a couple times and came to life. Simple and reliable, it's hard to beat.

I always like a lot of tire sticking out so I'd go with 23x8.50 if it were mine.

I have that size on a little JD 110 round fender I have and they do look cool.

Would they fit ok on the Cub rim that currently has the 6x12 tire?

I really like 6-12's on the round fendered cubs. But hey man, it's your tractor so you have the freedom to do as you want with it.

I like the look of 6 12's as duals on the back of the tractor. Really, it depends on your application of your tractor, but the ags sure look neat!!

Amazon has Tru Powers several sizes. I just got a set of 23X10.50X12 for $111 apiece, free shipping. Amazon is the best route for them IMO. However, I want a set of V61's like you got, Amazon dosn't carry them so I guess I'll have to bite the bullet and pay Mr. Miller....

The 6x12s are $20 cheaper per tire compared to the 23x8.5x12 to that might make up my mind since I like the looks of both sizes. Thanks everyone.

You would really need some wider rear rims to mount the 23 8.50 tires on the back.

I have always been surprised at what the little 6 12's will do with weights and water in them.

Wider looks better but the 6 12's are still a workhorse!

Good luck with it :beerchug:

I like the look of the 23-850s better on smaller framed tractors, paired with tri ribs. One of my Deere has that combo and looks slick as can be :biggrin2:
