9.5L15 will look all right.
10.00-16 4 ribs a little too big. 11-16 are looking way too big.
 

I'm running 11L-16 on my 2520...they might look a little big but I would rather have too big than too small.

I think they look about right. And I already had them left over from an AC 860 cotton stripper so there's that.
 
I like 11LX15 four rib Firestones.They look fine with 18.4x34 or smaller 38 tires such as 15.5x38 or 16.9X 38 .I prefer the level look .There can be a difference on diameter with different brands.
 
We run 10.00 - 16 4 rib tires on the front of our 3020 along with 18.4 - 30s on the back.

They look fine IMO & they work well for our application(loader work mostly).

Thanks for all the replies . I think I?m going to go with 10.00 15 tri rib . I like the 3 rib better than the 4 for steering
 
We had 11Lx15's on the WFE of our 4010, it sat level with the new 15.5x38 GY Power-Torque tires Dad put on it. He put rib implement tires on the frt, lot more flotation than a 3 or 4 rib tractor frt tire, didn't tear the ground up, you had to use the inside brake to turn the tractor when doing tillage with duals on anyhow, or on soft or slick ground. With the 4 row wide frt mounted cultivator the frt tires did not slide.

Tractor was built with NFE, Roll-o-Matic with 6.00 or 6.50x16's, it sold after the tractor at the auction Dad bought it at, Dad bid on it but somebody else Really wanted it bad, Dad bid it up to $500-$600 and let the guy have it. He did get the cultivator that sold next.

Once you got turned on the headlands with the ribbed implement tires they steered you down the field just fine, wore really well. I ran several 4020's and a 4320 for a neighbor with 6.00x16 on WFE, 10.00x16 3-ribs on wfe, 7.50x16 3-ribs on nfe, they all needed brakes to turn even without duals too, all had 18.4x34's.
 
My 3020 is set up with 11L x15 tri rib fronts and 15.5 x 38's. I like this set up. I do have a FEL on the machine for what its worth.
 
3 ribs steer better, but do more damage to the field (issue in hay fields)
4 ribs float better and last longer on a loader and the expense of some steering (better for hay field)

I prefer Firestone 4-ribs, but we do a lot of hay. My preference is to match brands front and rear (Firestone/Firestone, Goodyear/Goodyear, etc)
