B7100D front tire size

[zigoapex]

I have a B7100D that needs new front tires. When look up the tire size it says 20.5x8x10 which I bought, but they are taller than the tires that are on it. Am I going to mess up the 4wd if I put those on?
Thx Zig.

What size are the rears? I have the same machine, 29x12x15 rears and the size you listed up front....

I too had to do a lot of research as to what tire "works" well for the front end.

THESE are a perfect match - I have ordered them twice for 2 b7100's and they work well!!!

20.5x8x10 is a rare size, so there is a good chance it had 20x10-10 or something more common on it.

20.5x8x10 is a common trailer tire, I found a set of turf tires 20x8x10 for a decent price, and I don’t think the 1/2” difference will mess up the 4wd.

Kenda is the only manufacture I'm aware of that makes a true turf tire in 20.5x8x10. They are the K513 model. I run a set on the front of my B7200 mowing machine and are quite pleased with them.....

Except that they are trailer tires and not turf tires. There is a difference. A true turf tire is designed specifically for grass/turf applications . The trailer tires are harder and lack the side lugs for mowing banks.

That may be true - but I'll take these trailer tires ALL day long - notice the OEM, the tire "bulges" a bit in the middle, the tread on the sidewalls are poor to say the least. THE 6 ply trailer tires are flatter across, and have an edge to cut with. Much better while turning in or out of 4wd.
