8.5 or 10.5 ag tires is the question

Recommended Posts

TonyToro

I was offered some 23x8.5x12 ag tires but wasn’t sure how they will look on my/sons c-145. It has 23x10.5x12 now but just can vision what the more narrow tire would look like and how well

they will work for tilling and snow blowing. If anyone has pictures please post up.

thanks!

My tires on my 312-8 are 25 x 900 x 12 Alltrail II. I did raise the seat bracket, gas tank and fender 1 3/4".  There was someone who put put 23 x 850 x 12  in the same tire on his tractor,but I don't remember who.

That looks great. The tires make it more trail capable. Looks limit raised you 2-3” center of the axle.

I also kept the long front spindles for the 6" rims and added 400 x 8  tri ribs.

The bottom picture is 8.5”? If I read it right...those look good. I wasn’t sure if they would look to narrow on the tractor.

I even have a set of 6-12’s on Steve the C-81 and I don’t feel like it’s too odd...

I picked the 8.5” tires over the weekend. My son is sanding the rims and hopefully paint and mount the tires this weekend.
 

After this we need to mount the tiller to the C-145. 

 

Thank you all for the pictures and advise.
