Wide implement tires do give more flotation for sure. The tradeoff is they don't bite into the ground as well when you turn. They probably won't damage the steering as long as a loader isn't hung on the tractor.
I put 9.5LX15 implement tires on the front of my 630 Deere when it was a loader tractor, thinking I would get through the soft mud better. They did float better, but they also pushed more mud and I had to lay heavy on the brakes to steer the thing. I had to have the rims dished out to clear the end of the axle, putting even more stress on an already taxed power steering. After sheering the bolts that hold the power steering vane, I took the flotations off and put on 7.50X15 ribbed tractor steer tires. It just made a better acting front end. The wide ones dished out were too much. The 7.50's could be dished in but there wasn't much mud room. I think the factory tires were 6.00X16 and that"s what it was designed for. Jim

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
