I've done some research in the Firestone and Goodyear catalogs and came up with these number for Sq In.

Some are more and some are less than the NATPA numbers. I can only assume that the NATPA number are the deciding numbers, for what your allowed, for tire size.

In that case a larger foot print listed for g & f would be advantageous.

The 15.5 x 38, 175, is Goodyear and the 18.4 x 34, 291, is Firestone.

track conditions play a role and opinions will vary.  I think you will find a majority of pullers will run a taller narrow tire as opposed to a short fat tire.  i have been told that a short fat tire will "float" and spin sooner than a tall and narrow one, but whether there are facts to back this up who knows?  perhaps there is some science to explain the advantages to the footprint being parallel or perpendicular to the travel of the tractor.  lots of factors in the winning equation.  i havnt done enough pulling to really have an opinion other than i sized my tires to provide the largest footprint i can run and allow me to keep the engine near its rated speed for the class mph.

I did some looking around today and found the 16.9 x 24, listed at 196. Are they used much?

14.9 28 are 183 that’s as big as you can legally go with 28 18.4-26 are 242 15.5 38 are 200 that’s why you see everybody using them

could be a typo  i copied and pasted from natpa site. 

found the 18.4 x 26 here.  you have to go down to bias tire pg 31
it lists others as well.  15.5 x38 shows 189 here

Thank you, very much, Cal. I agree that puts me out any class that I want to pull in.

Are there typo's in that chart? It's lists 18. x 28 at 126 Sq In and 15.5 x 38 at 189 Sq In. Also, i don't see 16.9 x 28 listed. That's what I have now.

Do you have a link to the Firestone chart?

this is what natpa uses


0-4500# class 200 sq. in.
4501-6500# class 229 sq. in.
6501-9500# class 300 sq. in.

11.2 x 38 – 120 sq. in. 12.4 x 38 – 140 sq. in. 13.6 x 38 – 168 sq. in. 
11.2 x 36 – 115 sq. in. 12.4 x 36 – 135 sq. in. 14.9 x 28 – 170 sq. in. 
18. 4 x 28 – 126 sq. in. 13.6 x 28 – 145 sq. in. 13.6 x 24 – 130 sq. in. 
14.9 x 26 – 144 sq. in. 14.9 x 38 – 200 sq. in. 18.4 x 34 – 284 sq. in. 
18.4 x 38 – 300 sq. in. 15.5 x 38 – 189 sq. in. 16.9 x 38 – 252 sq. in.
 16.9 x 34 – 229 sq. in. 18.4 x 28 – 250 sq. in.


after some searching 18.4 x 26 bias tire is listed at 242 sq. in. by firestone

so if your pull is using natpa rules  your D17 could only pull @ 6501+  lbs!!!!  not where you want to be

This is a very interesting thread! I can't see them either but, I would love to see the pictures, also.

I have a question for those that know the rules well. How is the tire area calculated. I have a set of 18.4 x 26 tires that I want to put on my D17, for next year.

Made a lot of progress this winter. We built a lightweight center section (replaced the hand clutch housing).

Swapped out the steering shaft.

Widened a set of 28" wheels and built an adjustable Hitch.

Well unfortunately I didn't get a lot of work done on the Allis this winter. I pulled the motor and re sealed most everything. Got it all back together and am not chaising some coolant leaks. I will be running the same tires as last year.   Should be fun either way

Thanks for the response. Progress has slowed up for a bit. I am working 6 days a week and having some family Heath issues so free time is a premium. I don't know if tires are going to happen this winter or not but it's ok either way. She will pull next summer regardless.

While you're practicing with your tires see if you can find some used ones at a tractor tire store or better yet see if you can find some on this forum, while they may be weather cracked some you're not taking a chance of buying the wrong tire and sinking a bunch of money in something that isn't going to work for you. Those two boys of yours look like they're having a blast. You'll win more with them than you will with the tractor I'm afraid.

Ok motors out and it's time to start stripping it down. The front cover is giving me fits.

What's the big bolt with the jam nut for?

Everything else is out and it won't budge.... Granted I didn't try real hard yet I didn't want to break anything so I wanted to do a little research first.

Questions on tires. I am going to buy a complete diesel rear ( transmission to finals). Looks to be a direct bolt on does that sound right?

I am still debating between 13.6 and 15.5 38s

My track I can run 15.5s but some other local tracks I have heard 13.6 for anything 4500lb and under. Opinions on that?
 
Depends on the rules where you pull and what classes/Divisions.   
  NATPA DivII is 170 sq inches of tire or less on 4500# and down  which is 13.6 x38 (168) or 14.9 x 28 (170)
4500#-6500# max sq inch is 229.  I run 5000# + with the UC and have 16.9x34 (229)
Div III is 18.4x 38 max tire size
My club uses NATPA rules.
