The owner walks through concrete trade-offs, no room for chains, potential fender scratching, slight gearing loss, then makes a data-backed case for the upsides: 168 extra pounds of liquid ballast capacity, better stability on steep grades, and more ground clearance. Most useful for TYM T4820 buyers weighing tire size at order time.

A TYM sales rep ordered them partly because they look tough, but they also allow more liquid ballast, better stability on steep grades and more ground clearance.
No, there is not much space between the tire and fender, so there is no room to fit chains on the 16.9x24 oversized tires.
The 17.5 tires hold 57 gallons (605 lbs) of rim guard, while the 16.9 tires hold 64 gallons (689 lbs), a gain of about 168 lbs.
There is a slight gearing loss from taller tires, but with the four-range transmission and 48 horsepower, the owner says it is a non-issue.
