Yep I had 7 inch on my mind all thru that, LOL.
I'm still trying to figure out the issue of whether a tire works good or not depending on the rim and certain brands, etc. I have plowed, mowed, worked with tires on rims as I mentioned, with wider tires on a narrower rim and also on correct width rims. I think unless your are pulling competition or doing some serious 12 inch moldboard plowing in hard packed ground, the wider tires all work great no matter if on a smaller rim or on a "correct" rim. Ags will grab and will pull, turf tires will, well do what turf tires do also. The only good differences I have seen is the advantage of fluid filled tires or wheels with weights to enhance pulling and grip. For 99% of the people out there, doing the average home and yard work it won't matter much of which wheel they will use. The tire on the other hand makes a huge difference. As most have seen, Ags for most of the year and then changing over to turfs with chains seems to do the best with snow removal. Granted I know nothing of snow removal, we have little to no snow removal in this section of the country. Just my 2 cents from real life experience. Of course we all know about opinions
