I bought a new set of front tires today (Carlstar (Carlisle) Ground Force 400 10x16.5) for my L5030 HST. The tires I replaced were Samson 10x16.5. It's a little late to ask, but is it safe to assume the outside diameter is close enough to standard that the new tires won't put the tractor in a bind in 4WD?

Thank you,
Hawk

You should be fine.
Do they look like the same size?

If you still have old tires mounted, measure how far on the ground it takes for the tire to rotate one revolution, then when you mount the new ones compare the measurements.
