Tire sizes on snowblowers?
Original Message   Mar 29, 2005 9:32 am
My old Ariens has something like 3.50/4.10 x 6 (I think).

I have a chance to buy some Snow Hogs that are described as 13 X 5.00 X 6

What is the sizing convention, and would they fit my rims?

The taller tire will also effectivly give you higher gear ratios, resulting in higher ground speeds at a given throttle setting and gear choice. so you may have to comphensate by blowing in a lower gear to achieve the same speed.

I have an Ariens 926 Pro because I like Orange

I guess you'd say they're made in my backyard.
