My new to me 8070 FWA is sitting on 18.4x26 front tires - Firestone radials - I'd call them 90%.

I will be using this tractor as a planting tractor and would prefer 14.9x28s instead.

Anybody up for a swap of rims and tires?

Or will sell outright.

Central Iowa.

PM me if interested.

Thanks.

Won't that mess the front to rear ratio up?

Just noticed you said 28's.They probably would be the same height.

The 14.9 width would be ideal for planting, but you would need to install 14.9R30's in order to maintain the correct rolling circumference as your 18.4R26's. You can check the specs at: http://www.firestoneag.com/tirelist_pop.asp?ref=3&load=0 Eric NY

14.9 28's are the correct front tire to go with 20.8 38 rear
