I decide to upgrade the tires on my X366SE, I install two Deestone R1 in the rear and I order two F2 Tri-Rib (Deestone also) for the front with new 8" rims, should arrive in a week.

Here's some pics for now.

Looks good. Are those 23 x 10.5 - 12?

Need to let us know how they work.:thThumbsU

The smaller ones are 23"x8.50x12 (for sale BTW:fing32
The new ones are 26"x12x12 6ply

I had the chance to try them Friday, we add a good snowfall and defenitly more grip (traction) with the new ones. :thThumbsU

I felt it right away, much more traction, bigger foot print.

The new tires look great. Question, doesn't that raise the whole machine up a couple of inches, And what effect does that have on the deck height?

Yes it lift the tractor by about 2 inch, that why I have to change the front for bigger one too.

Of course I'll readjust the deck level this spring.:fing32:

Excellent! Congrats Steph and Thanks for the pics can't wait to see what your Beast looks like with the new fronts too!!! :trink39::trink39::trink39:

There must be a nice margin of deck height adjustment on your machine. I know on mine it is adjustable from 1 to 3.5 inches. If I raised the machine up by 2 inches, that would make the adjustment from 3 to 5.5 inches...marginally too high for cutting grass.

Looks good for sure! 6 ply, they should stand up even when with no air in them! :dunno:

 

[POENY]

Wow! That looks tough.:fing32: I would think you would notice the difference immediately (like you said). Did you/are you filling them?

Good thing you have that strong transaxle on the X366SE!:thThumbsU

Yeah they are hard to bend, I run them at 10 psi for now.

At first that was the plan to fill them, but I'm not so sure now, they have so much traction i think I'll use it like this for a while and see later if it need to be fill with liquid ballast.

Yeah, you don't put that kind of tires on a K46 :fing20:

I was looking for their mounted diameter in the specs and I cannot find it. Did you measure them by chance?

No not yet, I'll take measurement tomorrow and post them.
