John Deere 770 Tires

[ScottMeadows]

I have a 1995 John Deere 770 2WD. I have common radial style tractor tires on the rear and Tri-Ribbed tires on the front. I have a bad tire on the front. The front tire size is a 6.50 X 10. Through much research and grief I have found out that a 10" rim is a very odd size for any tractor. Therefore finding a tractor tire to fit the rim is very difficult. I have now decided to try and find a different size rim and tire that will fit the tractor. I really do not want a turf tire if I can help it. I have a loader on the tractor so I would like to find a tire and wheel with some width to it. My idea is to find out if a new 790 front rim and tire will fit on my 770. I found that the 790 size 5 X 15 will work. It is a Tri-rib tire but it is very narrow and tall. I would rather get away from the tri-rib and go with more of an all terrian stlyle tire with some width to it.
John Deere specs the 5 X 15 as well as a 7 X 14 for a 790. I would like to find out if the 7 X 14 will fit my tractor and what the tread looks like. I will continue to work at my problem, but I was wondering if you guys have any advice. The spec that I found on the new 7X14 also stated BAR after the #. What does BAR mean? Is that an all terrain tire? If it is and if it will fit my tractor, I think that is the one I would like........Thanks

The 790 is basically the same tractor as the 770 with the exception of tire size and engine. Most other components are shared.

Since your tractor is 2WD, it isn't essential to keep the front/rear tire size ratios...which is good.

I don't think you'll have any problems, but the front end might set a bit higher then the rear.
