My 806 had 18.4 x 34 bias tires on it. They were shot, rotten, & splitting out. No more goody left. Been trying to find some good used tires for quite a while. Couldn't see paying $600.00 a tire for chinese made ones. I came across a pair of Michelin 480/70R 34 XM 23 radials. They came off the front of a front wheel assist tractor. They have 75% tread or so and they only wanted $100.00 ea. I bought them. Can't find anything out about them even on the Michelin site. They measure about 3 inches less in diameter than the 18.4 34. They are pretty close to diameter of a 16.9 34 and the same width as the 18.4.
I know some guys say don't go any smaller rolling circumfirance than the 18.4 x 34 on an 806. My heaviest load would be 14'sweeps/chisels for summer fallowing. Couldn't really see passing them up. Any thoughts? Thanks, Dan
