I have not had any problems with rubbing and my machine pretty much lives in All Wheel Steering all the time. But I do not have chains on these tires and I haven't had my Toolcat in every twist possible...so no guarantees. As per my much earlier posts in this thread (pg1/2), I have always used 15" LT tires with chains in the winter. Those have worked very well and height-wise are closer to the stock R-4's (?). Since those old posts of mine, I have retired and I pretty much just do snow removal for myself and some of my neighbors...and I thought I'd leave the small tires/chains off just for experimental purposes. You folks, like us, are due for some good snows this week so by the end of the week I may have the chains back on. (I'm probably about 50 miles S of you.) If you think it'd help, I'd be willing to take some pics tomorrow of the tires at full lock to give you an idea of the clearance. Also, machine is a 2007 "D" 5600. Don't know if that'd make a difference or not. In terms of 225's or 245's...I like the idea of a less-tall tire and would look to see what is most common/cheap. I just had these old Tundra tires laying around...so I figured I'd just try 'em.
