Why didn't I know about these???????

I absolutely love these tires! They do everything well, I mean everything! I wish I bought them years ago. Here's a video I made on the switch:

SO dumb question, what is the rolling ratio for them new ones vs the old ones? I mean are the back matched to the front tires to give the same ratio as the old ones

For those of us who aren't able to see the video, what are the model of these Kenda tires, their sizes, and where did you source them?

I'd be interested to see if they have a broad enough range of sizes such that I might source replacements for the turf tires on my B2410. Mine aren't worn out yet but I'd certainly like to have another source of tires available.

They look really good. My first concern was ratios, but skeets already mentioned that. My second concern was sidewall construction. With a FEL, the fronts need to handle the brunt of that weight and from my experience ATV wheels tend to have soft sidewall for better flex and traction, but are not good for heavy loads (think bucket full of gravel). I'm curious to hear how they handle loader work. Looks to be a great improvement for snow traction.

OK, so the ratio is the same as factory. Both the front and the rear are larger but they maintain the same proportions. They tires are 4ply and have a higher load rating then the OEM turf tires. Unfortunately this is the largest size they offer so I'm sorry to say they will not work for a B series.

Sounds like a win-win for you, but a no go for me. Enjoy and thanks for sharing.

I am sure that the rolling ratio is going to be correct on these tires but what I am wondering about is if they will work with a Mid Mount Mower attached . I have the RCK54P MMM and the stock tires that are on my tractor already rub the mower when I turn left. They do not rub when I turn right but that is because the MMM is formed differently in the left side than the right side.

Anyway, I am wondering how much taller these new tires are than the old ones. If they are 2" taller and 1" wider, then that means I would have to adjust the turning stop nut alot to compensate for the wider and taller difference in height. Do you have exact measurements for the differences in the new and old tires?

BTW, that is a great video.
