The 8.3/16 tire size is of agricultural tires designed for use on the rear wheels of smaller to mid-sized tractors in general field service. The tires of 8.3/16 size can be seen on large garden tractors and are also considered to perform tilling, plowing, or soil preparation tasks. These tires can also resist damage from stubble or debris, and their rubber is typically optimized to prevent weathering and cracking. The radial construction of 8.3/16 tires features a tread pattern that reduces soil compaction, provides smoother rides, and improves traction.
