They are for reducing the floor pressure of the machine. With the std 5.70-12 tires on the 453 the floor pressure fully loaded is 68 psi front and 61 psi rear. With 23 x 8.5-12 tires its 25 psi front and 21 psi rear. The wider tires make it 44" wide so likely do add a little stabilty. The maximun grade Bobcat recommends you work on is 25% but thats still going to depend on how you operate the machine and the conditions of the soil.</p></blockquote><p></p>
