Guys, it's time for me to buy some new tires for my D10 restoration. I want to buy new tires (not interested in used) and the front tires are pretty easy to find and are affordable.
My issue is not really knowing what I need for the rears. The tires that came off are labeled 12.4 - 24 on 11" rim. There is also a directional arrow and R-1 labeled on it.
This tractor will never see field work again but it will do a parade or two and some tractor shows.
I am looking for some opinions on what I should buy, where I should buy it and what do you think I should pay.
I am also interested in learning what those numbers really mean. I think the 24 is an absolute number that I need to match but the 12.4 is probably a variable width. Does the 11" rim limit me to certain widths of tires?
I have never purchased tractor tires before so any wisdom you can share will be appreciated.
Thanks guys :)
Jeff

12.4 is the section width of the mounted tire. 24 is the diameter of the rim its mounted on. You must have a 24" tire on a 24" rim.11" is the width between the beads on the rim. Recommended tire width for that rim is 12.4. I'd stick with the same size tire. Nebraska tire has the listed in a R1 tire for 225 per tire. I personally try to get mine locally since it's about $100 per tire to get them shipped. Youll want new tubes also around here if I buy tires at the local dealer they will get me tube at a reasonable price and in the past have always mounted for free.if you ring a tire in its $100 to mount one. Make sure your rims are cleaned and painted at least on the inside.ive had mine completely painted when I drop them off to get mounted and think that works the best.

Try looking at M.E.Miller's website. They have a lot of info, there, Style of tire is a 45ยบ angle cleat. Brand could be GY, FS, or BFG, if you want the original look. Miller will also bring the tires near to you, if you have a show near you, and you get the tire order in early enough...
