[QUOTE="cdmccul, post: 124137, member: 9318"] OEM style, Firestone brand, 10x16 (I think), skid steer tires. They are newish, came on the machine... So I haven't needed to change them so I haven't paid much attention to the exact sizes. I know they aren't 12x16.5, they are slightly smaller. But not 7x15, etc. With my machine, they bite in just fine with dirt, but in snow I have found they break free when trying to push. The machine doesn't stall hydraulically, the tires just spin and dig. If the snow is fairly fresh, I can get under more than enough to exceed my counterweight. If the snow (like above) is packed down hard, I can't get deep enough to over-fill the bucket.... But I don't come out empty handed. I have found that on polished glare ice and snow, I can "drift" around corners. I should probably chain up. In the budget for next year. :) [/QUOTE]
