Needing to replace all tyres on our 6480. It has 650/65 38, 540/65 28.
It does a lot of road work and find it's a bit light when grip is needed off road.
Was thinking about 620/70 38?
What does others have?
The book doesn't list the tyres it left the factory with!

580/70r38s and 480/70r28s are the 70% aspect direct replacements. I find the Michelin Omnibibs of that size very good.

In my experience a 620 won't make much difference to grip, but a 580/70r38 will. Our 7490 is on 580/70r38 and out grips the 7720 on 650/65r42's easily, with significantly better floatation than the 6480 on 20.8's (520)
