« on: April 17, 2015, 01:30:42 pm »
Building my first mower and i am going with 6x6 rims (unless other wise told) so what for tires should i use, heard alot of guys using Turf Saver, and Turf Masters, if one of those what size? Should i go 13in on the front and 15in on the back, or just all 13in?

On prepared chassis most run 13x6.5-6 on front and 16x7.50-8 on rear, I run 7.25 wide wheels on front and 8 wide rear wheels. This is real common.

So what about 13x6.5x6 on a 7.5 wide rim?

i am going to go 13in on the front but on the back i would like to go 15in but i can only find them in 15x6x6 so can i still stretch them onto a 7.5 wide rim, it will just flaten the tread right?
