I have a 5640 I use it for the loader 80% of the time and want to change out the front ag tire for a r4 it has 9.5-22 open centers on the front. has anyone changed these out? I understand the 15-19.5 r4 is a close match in height. thanks for the help in advance

If it is 2 WD not a problem, However 4WD problems.. On 4wd you need to keep the rolling diameters as close as you can. If the front and back are not really close things will start to bind up and you has beaucoup troubles I garonnnteeee

I wanted to up date this story. I bought a new set of 15x19.5 titan tires to replace the 9.5-22 tires that where on my 5640 tractor. I had the centers of the rims cut out and new centers with the proper bolt pattern welded in. So now i have a easy and cheaper replacement tire for my front end and an r4 tire for the loader work i do. I can run the tractor in 4wd and even change in and out of 4wd while moving so the tire diamiters are very close.
