Is it possible to put wider tires on an Iron Eagle. I have some pretty steep hills and the current turf tires do not cut it. I have tried super lugs but they tear up the lawn

I run Carlisle AT101 tires on both of my Dixie Choppers. Pretty aggressive but not too bad on the lawn.

You can put the 23x10.50-12 like comes on the Magnum on did it for a customer and said it was much better handling. You will have to readjust the deck to compensate for the taller tire

My old girl came out with 22x11-8's on it. Put the 23x10.5-12's on her and much better. You are only going up 1 inch in hight so adjusting the deck will not be an issue. They make a spacer plate you would need to get so the wheel will have the plate to tighten up against. Don't remember the part no. but can get it if interested.If you do this be sure and torque the lug nuts to 100 ft lbs.

Well I was mistaken on the spacer plate that was for the older Classic models. Have a Magnum in with the 23x10.5-12 and it does not have the spacer plates.

The price of the tires and wheels through Chopper would run you over $500.00.
