B6100e 2wd tire/wheel options

[Jjona5]

I just bought a b6100e that minus a few dings is basically new(259 hours). I'm pretty sure it still has the original tires as they are falling apart(literally crumbling). They seem quite hard to find. I know people go up to 12.5 in the rear but is there another option in wheels and tires that would make them easier to find? Since I'm going to need all 4 maybe I can find some used wheels or just buy wheels and tires and come out with something more standard. I'm mostly going to use it as a belly mower and a tiller.

The good news here is that you can place damn near ANY size tire on those rims within reason - since 4wd is not an issue, you can go big, small, wide or whatever.

You can put ol fashion truck tires on the rear - do not get too wide there and find a 10" tire for the fronts - the options are wide open!

Now if'n you had 4wd - you would be in a bind, yes, pun intended!

Running an all terrain truck tire would be kind of nice actually and probably do quite well. Happen to know how wide the factory wheel is? Google is returning 10 and 12 but that is a super wide rim to find a truck tire to fit.

I have all terrain truck tires on one of my B7100's.

You can get the 29x12-15 in quite a few different tread variations.

I was actually looking at that BKT tire. It looks like one of the carlisle tires but cheaper. I was hoping you had the info on one of the truck tires that fit. An AT truck tire would probably do the job perfectly. This tractor will probably only mow and till. Thanks for the links!

Go to your local "tire" place and see what they have in a 15" tire - if need be, measure how tall it is and that will get you close to how it measures up to what you have already. Any 15" truck tire will work - you simple pick the tread pattern you think will do the job.

I have 31x10.5 R15 mud tires.
I have them on 8" rims
You would need 31x12.5 R15 and I don't see them offered in all terrain, only swampier muds.
And if that the case you would be better off with tractor tires for much cheaper.
