[QUOTE="skidsteer.ca, post: 45782, member: 307"] The bald tires will not hurt anything, ow tight you run the tracks and how slippery the material is that your working will dictate how much the wheels slip inside the tracks. The sidewalls of your tires must not be too wide for the space inside the tracks, if the tracks squeeze the sidewalls they will wear into them. Will it break your drive train??? very hard to say, mostly depends on how you operated it. Normally they will be fine. At the hands of a rough operator it will definitely increase the stress because traction is higher. Reversing wheels versus spacers.... 6 of one 1/2 a dozen the other. Mostly a cost versus convenience thing. If I wan not buying spacers I would drill the rim on the other side and add a second valve stem. Flats and tire pressure are even a bigger issue when a track is involved. If you are getting around on the dike at all with tire, you will go everywhere with tracks, the difference is huge.
