I know smaller tires and certain treads are better. What does anyone think of downsizing to 10 X 16.5 tires on a 262 (or similar size machine)? Will the rims hold up. Any problems from experience? Considering finding used rims and put some tires on for the 3 months we use it for snow application (if the price is right) and going back to floatation in summer time or do I need to stick with the stock 12 X 16.5?
