tire size

my backhoe has 18.4x24 tires now and I found a nice set of 19.5x24, will those tires interchange without having to get new wheels and will the size difference make the machine sit funny? thanks. also it is a jcb 1400b 4x4

    If it's 4 wheel drive, your back tires will need to be matched to your front tires or it will bind. Greg

    Since it's a 4x4 ... NO .. APM is correct. Unless you change the front tires to maintain the same ground speed ratio. You don't want the front tires fighting the back tires for traction.
