I'd caution you about changing the tire height. As you raise the rear of the mower with a taller tire, you'll change the pitch (rake) of the deck and it WILL affect cutting performance. Before you switch to a 24" tire, make sure you have at least 0.5" [(24-23)/2=0.5] of adjustment on the rear deck hangers. Measure your deck before the swap, and match it after. Another thing to consider is trim-ability you re moving from a 10.5" wide tire to a 12" wide tire, you'll lose 0.75" of trim on the left side of the machine. Not sure about Deere but on our smaller units, the outside edge of the tire is the same width as the cutting deckmakes it a real pain to trim anything if the tires are wider than the deck. A wider tire also means lower ground pressure, which can mean more sliding down hills and more turf tearing when turning around. Do what you will, just some factors to consider.
