8n front tires

I have a 8n with 15 in. wheels with worn out car tires on them. What would be the best tire size in a triple rib?

beastie........dunno why you wanna change to tri-ribs, but most 8N's have 6.00-16 tires 'stedda' 15"-rims. Me? I'd find some good looking 15" USED tires and new INNERTUBES and not worry. .......the tired Dell

I agree with Dell. Find you some 15 inch radial car/truck tires and put them on with tubes and go do what you need to do. They will hold up better then any tractor type tire if you are doing thing like brush hogging

Good idea I live in northern Mn. so she goes in the woods. I think I will get a set of 10 ply tires thanks.

I like running tubeless tires.
Got them on my mowing tractor. Had two flats in one day last summer and was able to fix them with one of those tire plugs. No need to take the tire off the rim to get at the tube and no need to take the rim off the tractor to fix it.
After the second flat I went searching for the nail that punctured the tire.
Sure enough I found an old 2x4 - mostly rotted away but intact enough to hold the nail that got my tire.
