CDeHeer Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 I picked up a set of 8" Ag tires at a barn sale last weekend. I've been wanting to switch to Ag's on the LL 3310v for a while and this was just the motivation I needed. I need to know if any of the 10.5's will fit my stock rims which currently run 8.5". I've seen the actual sizes listed as: Carlisle Super lug 21.5" x 12 Carlisle TruPower 22" x 9.5" Deestone 21.5 x 9" If the Super lugs will fit I'll spend the extra $ for the extra width otherwise I'll settle with the Deestone. The 8" I picked up are "Goodyear super sure traction tractor" Anyone have any experience with these? I googled and only came up with this. These tires are molded with the confederate flag on the sidewall. [/img] I'm also contemplating swaping these with the tires on my TB Horse and putting those on the LL although I've never had a problem with traction while tilling. Any responce about the fitment appreciated.
MPH Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 On the tire sizes you listed the 1st # is the dia of the tire, the second is the rim size. For your Ll you should have 23x12.
CDeHeer Posted March 27, 2009 Author Posted March 27, 2009 I understand that but I'd like to swith from the stock 23x12x8.5 to a 23x12x10.5 My question is will the stock rim allow the mounting of a 10.5" wide tire. Particularly the Super lug with it's actual width of 11" Sorry about the confusion. The 8" I mentioned are for the front.
Zach Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 Yes, the stock rim allow the mounting of a 10.5" wide tire.dOd
farmtoybuilder Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 Zach is correct! They will work fine with 8 1/2" rims. We run 23 X 10.50 X 12's on 8.5 rims on our stock garden tractor pullers. 9.5" ones make tire flatter more grip for pulling! But our stock classes can't use 9.5 rims!
stevenj Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 The 23x10.5-12 Tru-Power tire is specifically designed for use with the 7" wide rim which is the stock rim width on your tractor. The 23x10.5-12 Super Lug is designed for an 8.5" rim but many have used it on a 7" rim, however, it will have a more rounded appearance when mounted on a 7" rim. I just checked the Carlisle tire website and they no longer show the 23x10.5-12 Super Lug in their brochure. Not sure if that is an error on the webpage or if they have truly discontinued several sizes. The 23x10.5-12 Tru Power has a very flat profile when mounted on the stock 7" rims.
CDeHeer Posted March 27, 2009 Author Posted March 27, 2009 I'm glad to hear the 10 1/2's will fit the stock rim. I think the Supers look awesome but don't want a bulged look on a 7" rim. I may just go with the Deestone as they are similar to the fronts I plan to mount. Anyone one have any experience with these 8.00 x 4.80 Goodyears I posted?
MowerMechanic Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 Here is a question, I just ordered a pair of trupower 26x12x12 for my puller. Are these going to balloon out or anything when they are mounted on my 8.5" wide rims?:O
Tom45 Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 The Super Lugs are no longer supplied by Carlisle. However, as Tractor Supply is running out of them, they are supplying them in Hi-Run brand and still calling them Super Lugs. They are marked made in New Zealand. They appear identical, perhaps using the same molds.

Are these going to balloon out or anything when they are mounted on my 8.5" wide rims? yes as a standard rule from at least an automotive standpoint the width can only be up to 2 over or (8.5 can go to a 10.5) or 7.0 to 9.0)this however may change with an AG tire with a tube but safety bead recomends no more then 2 sizes or inches manufacturers say sizes because of the metric system used for tire rating in automotive tires p=passenger xxx=width xx=% of width make the profile height xx=rim size in AG tires rim edge to rim edge = your 26 and 12 wide on 12 rim.[img][/img] [img]/club2/attach/Dark/thumbnail.jpg[/img] http://www.firestoneag.com/search_results.asp
HubbardRA Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 For information purposes, here is a set of 23x10.5x12 Nankang AG tires on 10.5 wide rims. These sit nice and flat on the ground and look very good too.
MowerMechanic Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 I realise they are 12" wide and my rim is 8.5" wide. I can run with a tube or without because i sit so close to my weight limit that i dont need to run wheel weights or fluid. I just want the most amount of tread on the ground as possible thats why im going with a trupower. The rules where changed this year allowing us to use after market rims and i just wasnt sure if i would really need to go spend the money on that, the wife will be made enough when she gets the account statment from our local tire company ;)
