What size is on it now? Someone on one of these boards replaced 15.5 x 38 tires with 16.9 tires. 18.4 x 34s work good but I think 18.4 x 38s would be too big. I have a 656(with loader) and a 560 and with 15.5s on 14" rims. The 656 tires are worn some. I'm considering if any other sizes would be better. I'd like to raise the back end a little so the loader bucket will reach lower. A 14.9 tire is taller, leaves a bigger foot print, and would fit good on my rims. A 16.9 is taller yet but I'm concerned that the rims should be wider. Also afraid they might increase ground speed too much for the round baler. I'll probably go with 14.9s. The draw back is the bigger tires cost more.
