Sorry to bring up a potentially contentious issue, however, I just purchased an RTV900 with work site tires (25x10-12) and have wondered if there might be better choice in tires.
Main intended use is lawn and garden maintenance on 4-5 acres of property. I have already had "the talk" from SO (CFO) about not damaging the lawn but don't want to limit potential use of RTV to suburban lawns.
I have been looking back through the old posts about tires and this is what I have concluded:
1. Could replace with 25x10-12 or 26x11-12 without "rubbing" issues in front.
2. Higher ply tire more resistant to puncture and better to support weight of RTV (2000 lbs + operator + payload)
3. Radial tire may provide smoother ride and increase "contact patch"
4 Tire choice also influenced by main use (turf vs mud).
Do the above conclusions seem correct?
Can anyone recommend a good 6-8 ply radial that wouldn't tear up the lawn (with careful use) but still offer good traction if riding trails?
Thanks
