What width is a PT-425 wheel?

[KentT]

Once again, I can't just go out and measure -- does anyone know how wide a PT-425 wheel really is? I know it has 23x10.50-12 tires, but is the wheel also 10.5 inches?

I've started looking at 26x12.00-12 tires, just in case my new wheel motors are tooooooo slow, and at least some of their specs say you need a 10.5" wheel. I've them mounted on 9" wheels, and the tread won't lie flat...

Anyone know off the top of their head how wide the stock PT wheels are?

Kent,

Mine are 8.5 inches.

Thanks, Gravy, for the quick answer -- even if it "wasn't the answer I wanted to hear..."

That'll just about double the cost, considering shipping, if I have to buy new wheels also.

Here's the best deal I've found on larger wheel/tire combinations:
eBay: 26/12.00x12 DITCH WITCH TRENCHER TIRES wheels (item 330023920255 end time Jul-27-07 12:55:54 PDT)

Otherwise, I like the looks of these bad boys (Nanco brand, I think), but I'd have to add the wheels. If so, I've found them for slightly less (considering shipping) elsewhere:
eBay: TWO 26X12.00-12 Super Tractor Lug Tires 10ply HVY DTY (item 110120232935 end time Jul-25-07 09:58:12 PDT)

And Tucker Tire is still the best price I've found on the 10.5" wheels, but when you count shipping it's almost twice this amount:
eBay: 1 orange 12x10.5 rims for ditch witch case other trench (item 330114007511 end time Jul-25-07 11:23:49 PDT)

I was notified my other 3 wheel motors finally shipped, so hopefully I'll have a better idea of how they perform soon...

Kent,

Don't be too quick to buy new wheels. Carlisle shows the 26/12:00x12 Super Lug as fitting on an 8.5.

Did everyone notice the psi for the different tires sizes? They show the load capacity for a tire at the rated psi. I am wondering that if you reduce the tire pressure in half, like some have touted, how much of the load weight and handling is affected? I run my 26X12X12 lug tires at 21 psi.
