[QUOTE="snipe, post: 7261269, member: 41148"] Bridgestone did a seminar on this and the calculation lasted about 15mins, basically it’s the total number of psi for the total field they were working out. Basically if I remember correctly this is a simplified version, say your tractor tyre is 650cm wide and you can run it at 15 psi, if you put another 650 tyre on you would need to be able to run them both at 7.5 psi or you are increasing the total load on the field. I stand to be corrected. In there experiments they worked out it was better to run a slightly narrower tyre at a higher psi (on paper) Up to a certain point, till you get to a sweet spot, but if you go too narrow it goes the other way. The biggest benefit come from having the biggest diameter of tyre you can. But to give you an answer to your original question the only way is to give it a go with or without and see. 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️ [/QUOTE]
