I am running the same wheels and tires all around so it’s exaggerated. Advantages of staggered. In tight turns if the front clears usually the rear clears. Not as much mud comes from the rear wheels because they are tucked in more. Disadvantages of stagger is in deep snow or mud the track is different but it’s only an inch or 2 so it’s not that big of deal. I like it.

9 wide front, 11 wide rear. One disadvantage has been more tire wear on the rear from scrubbing, so I cannot rotate. Otherwise very pleased.

Thanks guys. Not sure I'm on the same page...
I meant width of machine, front vs. rear. Not tire widths.

As an example: 53 front, 55 rear.

Have I confused myself??
