Tire and rim set for BX2370

[WVmoss]

Hello All. I have a 2016 BX2370 that is mainly used as a lawnmower, but occasionally I attach our 4 foot brush hog to it and use it on steep areas. I have turf tires on the tractor when lawn mowing, but I would like to get a set of tires and wheels to put on when not mowing the flat yard. Where is the best place to get the best complete set? Also, any suggestions on what tire to get would be appreciated.

I'm no expert, but here are a couple of options for tires, although their not cheap. I have had the Carlisle HD Field Trax tires on my John Deere X500 for many years and they have provided good traction on the hills of my property. Just got a Massey-Ferguson GC1723, which has R-4 tires and with the 4WD they have performed well on the steep hills in the limited time I've used them.

Also, there is a newer style tire, the R-14T, which is a hybrid of R-1, R-4 and R-3 (Ag/Indus/Turf) - Titan International - R14T Crossover Tire for Compact Tractors. There are a bunch of threads here on it and you can ck out this vid at 5:34min, which talks about tires - THE ULTIMATE TRACTOR TIRE GUIDE: TREAD PATTERN OPTIONS! - YouTube.

Good luck!

Ok I watched this video a few times. It sure looks like to me that the R14 looks a lot like a glorified R4 but grooved to give it a more lug like appearance instead of a bar style tire. I already grooved my R4 tires but did not give them the lug appearance like the R14. I really don’t see any turf tire resemblance to them. If I hear that they perform better in snow I may also groove them to also give me a lug like appearance as well.
