1880 owners, do you use larger tires?

Just checking to see how many 1880 owners have installed larger tires? I put on R4's for the winter. Made for the BX23S. Have not had any issues doing this so far. Those who have changed, any issues?

My tractor is the BX1860 and I have installed the larger tires on mine. I love them. However, there is one issue that I experienced and that is the left front tire was rubbing on my RCK54 mower deck when turning a full left turn. I had to adjust the turn stop bolt to prevent the tire from rubbing the mower deck. This made my left turn radius about 20% wider than it was previously. The right turn radius is not affected because the right front tire does not rub on the mower deck. I don't know if other mower deck models would have the same issue.

I had no issues but I installed all terrain type tires.

I remove my deck and put on the larger tires for winter duty. Enjoy the lift of around 2 inches. Switch them back in the spring. No issues so far.
