    hey guys

    I currently have 11r22.5s and I was wondering if I can swap them to 295-75R 22.5?

    Also does it change my speedometer calibration?

    Yes, if on tractor you must replace all drive to same size.
    Yes, you will have to reprogram your speedometer due to tire diameter difference.

    thank you for the clarification

    So I can keep the steer tires 11R22.5 with only changing the drive tries?

    Not because of the different steer tire size compared to drive tire size.
    Now alignment issues and proper air pressure are a different issue.
