Have 4.10-3.50 tires on the front of a toro.

What would be the next size taller?

Can not go any wider but need to go taller to match the new back tires.

Thank you mark.

I went 2 inches taller on the back
So need to go 2 inches bigger on the front.
Think I found some.

Is it a chain Hung deck? When you add 2" tires I would try to add an inch or so, so the deck goes back to normal height unless of course you want it that tall

I went with taller tires because I got a good deal. $50 for both

I changed the chains so the deck is fine.

My big concern is the added weight on the front wheels from the back being up higher.

And my neck hurts from looking up.

Nice tires, good score !!

Adding the taller tires will also make the mower faster at full speed.

Little more grunt on the low end tho.

Just sayin'...

Those tires look pretty aggressive for mowing lawns. I would think any tire spinning on wet or damp grass might definitely leave some damage to the grass.

Most lawn tractors and riding mowers I've seen have a more docile tread pattern.

Those look more like sand tires or mud tires for an ATV.. Designed for diggin in and throwing mud or sand.

These are OEM tires just bigger then what I have been running.
I cut foreclosed homes so I cut a lot of hills

They will leave some marks when in wet soft ground. But I do not get stuck with them.

No I do not use them on my regular residential yards.
