Hello everyone first time post just found this forum it is a awesome wealth of knowledge. My question is has anyone ran 14x17.5 tires on 465 case? i would like to start to run them for better flotation on that big girl, or if you know of a company doing wider solid tires in the 14x17.5. I have ran the McAllen tires in the past with good luck but they could not tell me if that size would work. Primary work in summer is trucking and concrete winter snow but we fun the 22.5 tires for that anyone on the fence with those needs to take the plunge they are night and day in traction and speed thanks in advance

I have not and I had two 465's and 2 95XTs before that. Those machines could be ordered with another tire, and I cant remember the size it was 33X ? They were outstanding on those big heavy machines. I have been running Galaxy Hulk in 14X17.5 on a Case SV300. I will never put the 12X16.5's back on except for some solid tires I have for tough demo projects. Those big tires, give you a little more dump height, and more flotation worth every penny, and they do cost a few pennies.
