Tire Question

[Robert Evans]

I have a Kubota L2500 with turf tires. Rear 13.6-16, front 24 x 850-14. I want to go to R4 tires. What brand and what size can I use? My dealer has been less than helpful.

Thanks

The reason your dealer is being less than helpful is there is not an easy to find combination that works on that model.

There was no OEM R4 size tire and wheel combo that fits it.

I'm not able to find an R4 or even an R14 that will fit either your existing front or rear rims.

You would need to find out the RC ( rolling circumference) of the front and the rear tires then get that ratio.
Find a set of rims and tires that will fit your tractor in that ratio.

I would like to be able to tell you you could just get a set of tires and rims off of a LXXXX but there is not charts or documentation on doing that, or at least none that I know of.

Several years ago, @eserv posted tables with axle ratios and wheel data https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/tractor-wheel-database-somewhere.48118/post-421147

Your ratio is 1.636. Knowing that you should be able to, hopefully, find a model that has R4 tires in a size and wheels that match yours.

Here's a link from when @pigdoc changed tires and wheels on his L2500DT, https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/tire-selection-l2500dt.66342/

May be of some help.
