I see new balers with 16.1" wheels. Why not 16"?
I suppose it's to keep people from using used pickup tires.

I bet a 16 inch tire will fit on a 16.1 wheel. I've seen a lot of low-riders with a full inch discrepancy between the tire and the rim. It's been a thing for decades.I see new balers with 16.1" wheels. Why not 16"?

Okay... then go down to southern California and check them out yourself.Yeah that's a 15" tire on a 15" rim. Sure the tire is 6" wide on a x10" rim and the beads are stretched. Simple to do with a ratchet strap and a bead blaster. Maintain a high air pressure to keep the beads seated.
But that is NOT a 15" tire on a 16" rim, or 16" tire on a 15" rim.

the brakes are bigger on today's pick ups than in the past and they usually need a little more room but so many different ones I don't think is necessarySame reason for years we had 16" on trucks and on trailers. No there are 17", 18", even 20" on pickups.
