The size difference isn't enough to make that much difference in real world performance in reality.


A good example of this is with the JD HD garden tractors, the 425 vs the 445. They are virtually identical in all aspects except for rear tire size. Both use the exact same rear end and drive shaft from engine to trans, and run at the same engine RPM's (they also use the same engine with the only difference being the 445 is fuel injected and runs at higher compression to make its 2 extra HP), but the 425 comes with 23X10.50X12 tires, and the 445 comes with 26X12X12 tires. The 445 has a top speed of 8.5 mph while the 425 has a top speed of 7.5.


Realslowww-


The only real and appreciable advantage that puppy would see with the slightly larger tires would be an even better ride.

I'm not afraid to admit when I'm wrong....
