Do 24.5x32 tires ride rough on a tractor? Singled bias ply. Thanks

The tractor is going to make more difference than the tire. My 220 is 6in shorter wheel base than my 8070's but doesn't beat you like they do. Operator is at least a foot farther fwd on 8000's from center of rear tires.

6 ply will ride better than 10 ply. Any fluid ( don't need to be full) in the tires will make it ride better by reducing the bounce. I don't care what type of fluid (calcium, beet juice, RV antifreeze) as they all will improve the ride instead of a full air only tire that can bounce like a basketball. Proper air pressure for a good ride may be less than is needed for heavy drawbar work. For example I run no more than 10 psi in my WD-45 tractor ride tractor with no fluid at all (14.9 x 28). The ride is quite good and road wear is almost 100% all across each tire lug. When I plow (3 x 14's fully mounted) I have 900 lbs of suitcase weights under the torque tube and up the tire pressure to 12-13 psi.
