Stick: The 666 probably came from factory with the 15.5x38, however you will find if you change to 16.9x38, it will put the tractor up so it looks right. You will also see a marked increase in your traction. I did this with both my 560 and 656 and you just wont believe the difference until you make the change. Gives the tractor about 2.5 to 3 inches more ground clearence under drawbar. When I first made the change I was just trying to get more ground clearence for haybine and round baling.

Those tractors were under tired, plus that 15.5x38 has quite a low profile. The 14.6x38 actually gave better ground clearence.

I have seen a few guys go to 18.4x38. I drove one of those and thought it robbed power a bit too much. There is a trade off.
