6"-12" vs 8.5"x12" tires ...
 

Sorry I'm sure this is has been discussed to death but I'm in a struggle to pick new Ag tires for my Cub 72.

I live in a hilly area so traction is a must. Either decision I make I'll be adding windshield washer fluid for extra weight & stability. I don't mow with it, just will be hauling loaded wagon, pushing snow, etc. (Chains will probably go on in Winter)

**Also if anyone can tell me what size wheels are needed with the 6-12 tires I would appreciate it. I've search internet and this forum and haven't yet gotten a clear answer. I called Miller tire and they told me 4" x 12" rims, but another place I looked said 5" x 12" ...)

Which width tire do you all recommend/prefer and why?

Thanks!

Did you look here...... Tire & Rim Chart

8.50's always look better than 6-12 in my opinion.

I agree with Tim. :beerchug:

Yep but for some reason nothing shows up when I click on the link :bash2: LOL

Do you think the 6-12's would dig in better though? I already have some 8.5 turf tires I was going to tube and fill with liquid and add chains. Maybe that would be a better way to go. I just like the way Ag's look though lol

They will.... but they also won't float. So, if your in a soft spot they will quickly sink. Ags are a good choice. You do want to load the tires. Stick with the 8.50's. Besides, you don't get much weight out of loaded 6-12's.

Thanks appreciate the info. I think I'll go with the 8.5 ags and load em with wwf. And recommendations on a good brand or anything?
