What do you guys use/recommend as a suitable replacement for the 16x5.50-8 front tires?  Something that somewhat looks correct and correct height?  Thanks

What wheel width do you have or tractor model? Older tractors had narrow wheels around 4 inches and the newer had around 6 inch wheels. I just bought a trailer tire from Walmart for my 1054, a 4.80x8 that was only around $20 per tire and they fit the tractor great. Your tractor should be able to handle the 16x6.50x8 tires with no problem. Lots of new tires are under sized compared to the older tires. Lots have replaced tires using Deestone tri ribs just depending on application and tractor usage. Some others will chime in shortly.
