Ive got a narrow front tractor that I have a loader on that has 6.00 X 16 tires on it. I was wondering if putting some 6.50 X 16s on it the tires would hold up better. I have seen some 8 ply tires but not sure of the quality. Want to be able to stick with 3 rib ones if possible.

My Cockshutt 40 (wide front) had the typical 3 rib 7.50x16, six ply tires on it many years ago. We got some good used 7.50x16 truck tires and put on. Not sure if they are 8 or 10 ply but they are some tough old tires. I installed them 40 years ago and they still look as good as the day I put them on. No tread so it might slide a little when turning on ice and snow.
Between 6:00 and 6:50 will not make much difference, a bit but not much. If you have clearance try 7:50 x 16" tires, that would make a worthwile difference. Might be 4 rib tho instead of the 3 rib but not noticable difference in handling but if anything will handle better.
