I just snagged two NEW GY R1 11.2 x 16 rear tires for our B2410.
We have had problems with traction while using the tiller with the turf tires the machine came with. A few months ago my bride asked if we could change to R1s, because we use the machine for mowing (turf and field) more than for anything else, I did not want to "change" to R1s, but getting another set would be an option.
I stopped by a number of dealers during my travels and all indicated that they could order them from Kubota, but two R1s would run $800+ for the rim and tire package. One dealer suggested I contact a local Ag tire service firm to see if they had good used trade tires, that did not pan out.
I kept looking and recently walked into a dealer asking about a rim/tire package for our tractor and they HOOKED US UP!!!! NEW Goodyear tires, "take-off" tires from someone who wanted the in-stock unit but not the R1s it came with. We got them for $200/ea!!!!
Whoooo, hooooo!
Now to add antifreeze and bolt 'em on!
BTW: The cheapest I found the tires alone (known brand) was about $240/ea and we still needed rims!
