460 tire size

Rich Griffin · Nov 30, 2008

Fronts are 6.50 X 16 5 L. Will 6.00 X 16 fit in its place? Thanks

I never heard of 6.50 x 16.5, but 6.00 x 16 were the size the 460 came with.

I hope you are not running 16.5's on those 16 inch rims.

Unless someone changed out the rims to 16.5's.

These tires and rims have been on this tractor since I can remember,30 + years,would there be a identification some where on these to tell me what I realy have? My operators manual lists the 600 and the 650 X 16 for the 460 and also the 650 X 18,but my tire size saya 650 X 16 L.

First number is width. Second number is rim size.

There is no law against going wider or narrower, within reason. Maybe a half inch to an inch in each direction of the OEM size.

You can't use a tire meant for a different rim diameter. The only time this isn't obvious is if you're putting 16.5" tires on a 16" rim. They'll fit but the beads don't make proper contact with the rims and could slip off under heavy loads, or even during mounting. I'm sure there were many injuries and probably a few deaths associated with the 16.5" tire size. That's why they are not common any more.

There is no problem using 6.00x16 in place of a 6.50x16. You probably can get the tires cheaper, right? They'll be narrower and a little smaller overall.

I was wrong again. Took a better look-6.50 X 16 SL. These old eyes just arin't what they used to be.
