Tire size

Have 400x12 on my front. Can I go up to 5 or 6 by 12. Switching from rib to ag.Thanks

On a 2 wheel drive, sure no problem. On a 4x4, probably not, too much of a change in diameter for the 4x4. You would need to check the rolling circumference to know for sure. Also the 6 x 12 tires might be too wide and contact the front axle on the inside.

Have never tried ag tires on front but I know with good not warn 3 rib I can see it cutting into the dirt when I turn. Also have to not turn to sharp or quick on the lawn or it will tear it up. What are you looking for your tires to do?
