RIMS

[GRUBDIGGER]

REAR RIMS ON ALL MY MOWERS ARE 8X6. FRONT RIMES ARE 6X6. FRONT TIRES ARE TURF MASTER AND THE REAR TIRES ARE TURF PRO'S AND TURF MASTERS.(SINCE YOU CANT GET TURF PRO,S ANYMORE.) WHAT IS EVERYONE ELSE RUNING?

[conductor_81]

I'm running 6x6 on the front and 8x7.25 or 8 (i cant remember) on the rear with turf savers all the way around.

Last year modxr, 8x8 with turf masters on the rear and 6x7.25 with turf savers on the front.

This year The SP will have 6x7.25 on the front and going to be swapping back and forth between turf savers and turf masters depending on the track. It will have turf masters on 6x7.75 on the rear.

As far as this years modxr  it will have 6x7.25 on the front. Not sure on the rear yet.

ALSO DOESNT THAT MAKE THE SIDEWALL WAY OUT THERE? OR DOES IT MAKE THE TREAD SIT MORE FLAT TO THE GROUND?

[GRUBDIGGER]

ARE WE TRYING TO GET MORE TREAD ON THE GROUND FOR MORE TRACTION? IF SO AINT THE CENTER OF THE TREAD SUCKED UP INTO THE MIDDLE AND NOT ON THE GROUND?

[conductor_81]

With my wheels and the turf savers it makes the tread sit flat on the ground. It also keep the edge from being a round edge it makes more of a taper effect. It also keeps the center of the tire from what i say bubbling or being rounded in the center. It just flattens out the tread more evenly across the whole tire. I have also had better luck keeping my tires the same diameter around the center. Cause if you air up two of the same size tires on the same size wheels with the same air pressure they will not be the same diameter in the center so the wider wheels have helped to eleminate some of that issue for me.

My front tires are 13x6.50-6 and my rears are 16x7.50-8 so my tires are maybe a hair bit wide but work perfect for my chasis.

MOST WOULD CALL THAT BUILT IN STAGGER.

[conductor_81]

Yea it is but i can make very very minamal pressure adjustments and gain greatly on traction or stagger. Less pressure to do fine tunning with and still have great gains.

John here,s my turf saver on a 6x7.25


I think when mounted on a 7.75 it will stiffen it up a little more.

I looks like we are going to Mardela.  I'll have the modxr but not the sp motor wont be done by then. Lacking some funds at this point.

[GRUBDIGGER]

IT LOOKS MORE ROUNDED THAN FLAT. NOT SURE WHAT TO THINK ABOUT IT.

[trbinrat]

I've got the some turf masters mounted up on 7.25 rims too. I'll put a straight edge on top and take a pic of them both.  And I'll set the air pressure at 12 psi

[tazz914]

im running 13s turf masters on 6x7.25 rims on the front and 16x7.5s on 8x8  for the back. .next year will be a live axle mower with 13s alround
