Tires LT155 Tires

[gtojer]

Greetings all,
First post on this forum. I have a LT155 which I am beefing up for my wife. Owned it for about 9 years. Just got some 38" Gator mulching blades, a new hood hinge and a steel bumper (a tree got in her way). The stock tires just don't have the grip she needs and am looking at some knobbier tires. So I am looking for recommendations. I am looking at these:
John Deere Gator HD Field Trax Tires - Titan Tires Store
John Deere Gator Turf Tamer Tires - Titan Tire Store

Also the stock size is 20x10-8, has anyone tried 22x11-8 or 22x10-8 tires? The taller tire should increase top speed to a little over 6 from the stock 5.5. I don't think this would work with the 42" deck but I have the 38" deck. Has anyone tried the larger tire?

Check to make sure you have enough room to fit them on there without rubbing on the deck. I think you'll find you don't have the clearance.

Like mac said... measure and see if you have the clearance....

For the 22x10-8 you will need an additional One inch diameter all the way around... and for the 22x11-8 you will need that additional One inch diameter AND a Half inch additional inside and outside room for the width .... :smile:KennyV
