Searching for Larger Front Tires

newgenjdcollector · Jun 19, 2017

I'm searching for larger front tires (if they exist) for my 6030 that are slightly taller than my current 16.5-16.1s. It has 20.8-42s on the rear. With just the insides on the back it sits nice--slightly nose up, which I like. When I put the duals on, it raises the rear end several inches and takes away the nose up effect to where it's almost nose down. Anyone know of a larger size that is offered in a true 4-rib tractor front tire (not a flotation style tire or ugly wagon tire). I had a tractor once that had 18.4-16.1s. Height-wise they were about right, but they were a flotation tire with + style treads not 4-rib. I know some of the 8000 series 2wd tractors had really tall fronts but they are a bit too narrow for me. Just wondering what's out there.

6030s had from favtory 19l16 5 ribs. But they wil not look good with narrow rears. Very difficult if not impossible to find. Probably need to call john kinzebaw.

11.25x24 3 or 4 ribs exist and those are very tall. Those are onstalled on 8000.

Other way around is to make it a hfwa 6030.

Ummm... this may seem like a dumb answer, but if the duals are raising the rear end that much, why not just lower the tire pressure in all the rear tires a little more? When we used to run radial duals on the
4850, we would always lower the inflation vs singles. Are you as low as you can go?

I have a set of 19Lx16.1 came off 6030 8 bolt deep off set . The rims are good the tires hold air but aren't new.They could be shipped to a Fastenal store for around $75. 515-290-4336 .I priced them at $300.

My deere tech said a lot of newer tractors run really low pressures. He calculated that I could go as low as 9 psi with the duals on, so I did that and it helped but boy it seems scary low to me.

We used to run about 12 lb with the duals on.
