What are you running, and is it on the front or rear?

Depends on application. on the front I prefer a 6.5 to a 7. On the rear I use a 7.5. On my prepared chassis (38") I actually prefer a narrower tire on the front either a 13x6.0-6 (if you can find them) on a 6.5 or a 13x5-6 on a 6.0 rim. It will give the mower a lower stance with less roll over on the right front and an actually "wider" stance. If you don't understand how I can't explain it to you.

Jerry if it is for your Mod-X you can run aluminum. If you're thinking of switching to the pro stock chassis you will need steel.
