I just got my new B7510 with bar turfs. When I got it, the dealer had to order me a new front tire as the two fronts that came did not match. The molds were different so thatvone tire was more "flat-treaded" and slightly smaller in diameter that the ones I'd ordered. So, the new tire came, same tread, same profile, but it is about one-half inch taller. Will this make enough difference in the front axle gearing to damage it over time? I could see if BOTH fronts were the same size, and a little larger than they weres upposed to be, but with one front larger than the other, will I wind up with overwind in the gearcase?

The two tires should be a direct match to each other and be the proper size to maintain the relationship between the front and rear tires. I would suggest to the dealer that he order 2 matching tires from the factory, or take two matching tires off of another machine in the yard. There is no reason to accept a new machine with mis matched sneakers. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
