I am currently running a 1665 dual port with what I believe is a sedan IRS transaxle on a 101" frame. I need to run as agrresive tire as possible without killing power or what little bit of gearing I have do have access to a tire cutter so tread is not all that important.

ALL ADVICE IS GREATLY APPRECIATED

THANKS CLIFF :twisted: :lol:

Never heard of a 1665 but anyway..........

29x12:50-15 tractor should work for you.

The tire that TurboBlue mentioned should work good for you. Good traction in mud and not too wide to let you get wheel speed for climbing.

You have a sedan transmission?

Sedans with a 1641 won't pull a 31x15:50-15 all that well.

Thats what I think it is. I've got a 32x13.50x15 now and it pulls fairly well. Like I say not too sure about trans. Need to look at numbers and see what it is out of.

Hey wild willie are they the 29x12.50 or 31x15.50????
