Green are a different shape they narrow towards the bottom and as soon as you get at any angle to a trailer you lose sight of it

There some height those 85/38s. They make a tractor look a lot bigger.

Has anyone had a new tractor on these tyres recently?

We got one on these and they're really strange looking the tread is very narrow just barely 600mm across but the sidewalls are bulged away out from the rim and the treads .

It was next to a 8 month old tractor at the dealer on the same make and model of tyre and it was normal looking same as the front are they're a straight sidewall up to a wide tread . And mine had 50mm more drawbar clearance than the same model next door so mine are 100mm taller overall .

It doesn't look as ridiculous in the pictures as it does in real life.View attachment 1171782View attachment 1171783View attachment 1171784View attachment 1171785View attachment 1171786View attachment 1171787View attachment 1171788

A 650 tyres does not have to have to be 650mm wide tread , the 650mm can be measured on the side wall of the tyre & still fits in the spec of a 650 tyre, our 939 is on 710-85-38 & the tread is only 680mm wide on them , the 85 tyres are way better at carrying a load than a 75 & can be ran at a lot lower pressure , if your tyres were on a narrower rim it would pull the side walls in on them but the tyre would not work as well

Measured mine tonight they measure 630 across the treads

A bit wider than mine then . Just what I'd expect a 650 might be .
