Extreeme traction brings on extreeme expense. A drag racing friend put on wider slicks, broke the U joints, Beefed the joints and twisted a yolk. Put a billet yolk on ,and twisted off an axle. Be careful what you wish for. JimN

16.9-38's will be plenty big for everyday and pulling use unless you have over 90 horses then bigger tires would be useful..... and,round up plenty of money for gear train repairs.....
My old M had 18.4 X 38's on it when I bought it and it left me wishing I had a lower gear quite often, I know with the 560 you have the TA for lower gears but I would still reccommend that you go with a set of 16.9's or 18.4 X 34's . I ended up running a set of firestone field and road 18.4 x 34's on my M and it was huge difference. It was finally geared low enough that I could actually go a decent speed in the 3 mph classes, with the 18.4 x 38's it seemed I could never go above half throttle.
My 560 currently has 15.5 x 38's and I would really like to go to a set of 16.9's or 18.4's on it just so it would look better. They just changed the rules around here and I can't pull much anymore anyway, so I would just like it to look a little beffier. The stupid new rules say that the engine has to match the sheetmetal and rearend, the rules used to be that it had to be under 380 cubes but oh well. They won't let me run my 358 anymore, quess I could look for a 301 diesel block.

I have 4 560 tractors and have found the 16.9-38 tires to be best suited for farming and pulling. I have one gasser that still has 15.5 tires that are fair in tread and it won't stop spinning even with a cement block on the 3 pt. My diesel has armstrong tires and I pull it in 2nd TA and it does well. The power mark or Firestones are just as good in my opinion. I don.t have enough ponies under the hood on any of them to run 18.4 and none of them are turboed (yet). Migrsine
