Hello all. I have just purchased 2- 30.5x32 tires on rims for my 648 D JD skidder. Is it safe to run these tires on the back while keeping 24.5x32's on the front. I am thinking it shouldn't cause a problem because height is the same just different width. Any experiences with this.

You will want to measure height to be sure but as long as they are the same hight it won't hurt anything it will look funny tho

Both those size tires are the same height so it  won't damage your drive train. The 24.5 is often the choice to dual to 30.5 tires.  Might rut weird ?

I looked up firestone specs and they are the same diameter. But I never would have guessed it because I've seen and ran 648 and 460tj with both sizes. And the 24.5s always seem smaller to me. But specs don't lie I guess.
