I am thinking about switching from 38" to 46" tires for my 4240. Does anyone have any advice, pro or con, about going to this kind of rubber.

Thanks,

Mark

Mike,
I would go to 46 because of the added traction. The footprint would be close to that of an 18.4 x 36. The rims and tires would fit because the ones that I am looking at are off of a 4240 with a blown engine.

Thanks,

Mark

Before you buy the tires and rims, I would do some measuring. A set of 46's may not fit under the fenders, especially if its a cab tractor. I've got 20.8x38,s on mine and have about 1/4" clearance under the fenders, they lightly scuff the fenders at road speed.

no exp w/ 46" tires,why go 46? If you went w/ 42's you could use a step-up rim on your 38" centers.
