can I use 10-16.5tires on a machine using 12-16.5?

be easy on me boyz, being my 1st & all fairly new (couple yrs) to using skids & havn't needed to do any tire changing. Got a chance to get brand new tires for $175 a tire, I think that' good? Thought maybe they would work for non yard applications, since they have a aggressive pattern? Thanks in advance.

Tires will be a little narrow for the rim, but should work. What are you putting them on? Some machine have 12 16.5 pretty much for ground clearness as they are very low to the ground Shop around, you should be able to find some 12s for around $175. I think that is about what our "value" 12s go for, but I would have to check.

machine is s220, tires are Firestone Duraforce. currently it's running earthforce severe duty 12-16.5 I was checking on getting the larger 14-17.5 or 10-16.5 with 8 lug rims to use as an extra set, if I come across a good deal. just trying to think outside the box.

I checked prices, I can do 12s for as low as $140 a tire. I'm in WI.

Has anyone had any luck mounting a 10" wide tire on a 12" rim? Its hard enough getting the bead to seat normally.
