Yes the 18`s are flat across the top like turf tamers.

And as far as running 25`s on the sx. It cuts down on acceleration and you have the risk of hitting the tires on the rear plastic and messing it up.

if you change tires then you almost have to change gearing also. I allways run stock tires but change gear ratio. But i know on a shaft drive you cant do that. So the bigger the tire the less excelleration you have but more ground clearance you have. And smaller tires are just reveresed.

A machine like the big red or the sx i would just leave stock. The tires and suspension and all are set up just right for the machine. And if you start changing something you almost allways have to change other stuff to make it handle and proform like it should again. Just my 2 cents worth.
