Tires 870 R4 tire replacement

[rockslab]

Howdy.
I have an 870 MFWD with a 420 FEL that I do a lot of work with. It has the standard 7.00 R1 tires. I am thinking of replacing with R4 to get some added flotation. Any suggestions or experiences with this type of modification? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Myself and maybe others who find thier skinny r-1s sink in the muck when moving materials contemplate doing this and either dont get around to it, check out the feasability and cant justify the cost of buying new rims and tires (you will need a new rim size) and the risk of hurting the drivetrain because your new tires dont match the oem o.d. well enough, or plain don't have the $$.

Myself, have experienced all of the above. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
