Well my personal opinion is that the 8" wheels keep the mowers looking like mowers. But depending on your gear ration, rpms, horse power and driving style I think it is just whatever a person feels best suits there needs. I dont think there is really one better than the other. Just my two cents.

Yea the 6"s on the rear dont look like a lawn mower but i love them because i sit a little lower to the ground and go into the turns a little harder, but then i love the 8"s because of the look. Its all bout ur drivin style. Just my 2 cents to

The 8in tires have a little more foot print on the ground there fore a little better traction, the 6in tires are easier to set your chassis lower to the ground.
