kevin boggs Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 i have an r613 road tractor I am fixing u to use. not really restoring but just making it road worthy again. anyway I am looking at putting floaters on the front and am not 100% sure what I want to do. I want aluminum I know that but I am stuck between 385 and 425 tires. I have 11r22.5 now. anybody got any advice or pictures that would help me. the truck is just gonna pull a hopper bottom occasionally.thanks Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/40078-front-tire-options-for-r613/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_martell Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 id go 385....generally good weight ratings, should be cheaper, and not as much loss in wheel cut compared to 425......kinda best of both worlds i guess....un educated opinion Quote Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part....

Dirtymilkman Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Pulling a hopper bottom tou should never need 425's 11's should be fine unless you're putting over 15,000lbs on your front axle. I actually get longer life out of my 425's Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/40078-front-tire-options-for-r613/#findComment-290510 Share on other sites More sharing options...
