Got two 25/11/12 and two 25/10/12 6 ply 440 Mag Off-road tires for $60 off of Marketplace. They have real good tread left the owner swapped these out for some more aggressive mudders. I’m thinking my Simplicity 3415H and my Sears SS15 would be good candidates. The Sears may not have enough fender clearance. Spring project coming up.

I used ATV 8.5" X 26" (I think) on the Wheel Horse and they have worked out real well. There a reason they use tall narrow tires on tractors for dirt work. For lawn work I would think your wider tires would be more lawn friendly.
 
No problem to get the 12” atv tires here. One ad on now for a set for sale. Brand new basically. Guy took them off just to put bigger one on. 25x10x12 x2 and 25x8x12 x2. Lance would be here in a flash to get these. Hehe.

Those are my thoughts too Chris. My 7117H was a good grass cutter with much needed traction on slight hills and slopes with worn but good Ags with no damage. I think these will work good on the 3415H. After thinking about it I think my Bolens G11XL might be another candidate since I rebuilt that deck also.
 
ATV tires are NOT hard on the lawn unless you have a locked rear diff.... or do something stupid... I can drive 8000# tractors with AGs across the lawn and not make a mark unless the grass is wet... then an AG will spin or slide sideways on a slope quite easily... ATV tires will NOT do either such thing even when wet.
