silverbacks

i am just wondering if you could use silverbacks on a mower since some of the poeple that lift them have truck tires

your definately gonna have to lift it have to fit those kinda tires. the smallest silverback that they make is a 27. Unless you get the silverback x-lite which goes down to 25.

LOOK AT THE GRIP! HELL YER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i dont have fenders so i dont have to lift because right now i have 22x11x8s and the silverbacks are only a maximun 12 inches wide so i should be fine im wanting to do the 32s in back and my 22s in front unless someone knows of a cheap 27 inch tire

The 27's would fit on my Lawn Flite all stock if I bent the fenders back to the original position(there bent down from idiots sitting on the fenders) but your probably talking about your typical lawn tractor that doesnt have the 5 bolt hubs. I wouldn't really know but I don't think they make a proper size.

because im going to put 4 bolt hubs on the back and get atv rims/tires just looking for a cheap 27 inch tire

I dont think silverbacks are really cheap but if you look for wooly boogers you can probably get them for cheap, also think of the weight issue, if your tires are really heavy it would cause extreme wear on the transaxle. I had a friend break his transaxle in two because he used really big ATV tires that weighted about 60lbs! without the weight of the mud, I couldn't believe they didn't break the transaxle just sitting. but it looked cool when it was on the tractor.

ya thats why i dont want silverbacks because ther 4olb a piece i want a cheaper 27

Have you thought of Maxxis Zillas?

I just copied this from a website(http://www.mud-throwers.com/inc/sdetail/12045/):

Or some Bearclaws, My Father used them on his old Quad and he would go through Swamps above his handlebars(he had 2 1/2' high snorkles that made the bike look like a bull), and he would only get stuck on tree stumps.

i will go with bearclaws they look like a good tire and if i put 27s on back will 22s look ok on the front?

I really don't know, compare the Stock Tires sizes for your Lawn tractor, if they are 15's on the front and 20's on the back they would look slick, subtract the Stock Front Tire from the Stock Rear Tire and Subtract the number you get from 27 and use those for your fronts, then it would look proper and you wouldn't be sitting on an angle.

ok i will check it out because where we ride the water is farley deep and i want to be as big as the atvs if not bigger

Yeah I know what you mean, I know my Fathers Bearclaws held up pretty good(he still has 85% of his tire left and he used the bike on/off road once a weekend for 2 summers), his friends had ITP MudLites and they hated them(the Mudlites) because they didn't let the mud out of the tires well and you would end up making yourself a ball of mud on your tire. Maybe ask some of the ATVers that go through the mud you go though and ask them what tires they would like/have on there quads.

I guess it could, You could fozzey Lock the Transaxle if you ask a friend or someone with a welder to weld up the gears.

whats a fozzy locker

Thats a Fozzy Locket, Instead of welding everything together of welding the gears together you weld up the gears so they just allow room for the Axle Gears to fit in but not spin.

seems easy enough do i just grind those teeth off or weld them and if i weld them would a shop weld it for me?

You would need to weld them or else your transmission would just slip, If you bring it to a shop they would weld them for you, Even if you go to a garage and ask them, alot of garages have welders. Just show them a picture of what you want them to do and grind the weld down yourself because its probably cheaper.

ok sounds easy enough
