I changed tires on my Cub Cadet and have two good 20 x 9 8NHS 2 ply tires. These tires have the turf style tread.
My question is, I can think of no reason why I couldn't use these tires on my Model IV except maybe for the tread and I think the tire may be a bit taller? What are the thoughts of some of the list members on this subject.

See if the manufacturer can provide a weight and speed rating. The forces on the tread of a spinning tire cna be incredible.

Kitfoxes have flown with lawn tractor tires since day one. I have never
heard of anyone having an accident, incident or even a flat due to tire
"failure". Lancair yes, Kitfox no!
Respectfully,
