That's what I meant too. Take two 18.4x34 tires, one Goodyear Dyna Torque II, and one Firestone Field & Road, and put them side by side. I'd bet there's close to 2-3" difference in the infltated diameter, so that's going to make the tractor lower by 1-1.5" on the Dyna Torque.
I don't think there's two tire companies out there that make a tire of the same aspect ratio for a given size. They all seem to have a different rolling radius.
I know we all change tires like this due to circumstances, but we really shouldn't. It's harder on the differential, just as you said, because it's trying to keep you straight when the tires want to take you in a circle.
