Newbie tire question here. I researched some threads here at YDT about the changes in tractor tire sizes over the years, but still puzzled.

I just got a 43 VAI with two sets of rims. 2 tires are blown, worthless, 2 are on their last leg. Don't really need brand new tires so trying to locate some half-decent used replacements. Don't care about the tread being worn as long as the sidewalls are decent. Diamond/turf pattern would be best for me, but well worn ag lugs will work for I'll end up driving around a lot on my lawn and such. If you have any tips where to search please let me know.

Anyhow my main question is regarding what size to get. The old tires on the tractor now are 9.0x24's. From what I've researched the new size number from that tire is 9.5x24 In reviewing the docs at MJ's site it appears the standard size for the VA & VAC was a 10x24, not sure if it was the same for the VAI. Or what is the new size number for a 10x24

I'm not overly concerned with restoring the tractor to factory original. I'm assuming a wider tire will give me better float when going across my lawn, so I'll put on a wider tire if there's a more common size that's easier to come by. Not sure what's the widest tire is that I can put onto these rims?

Any tips would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Don

Yeah, 11.2 x 28 replaced the 10 x 28. Very little difference and looks "right".

I would go with something a little narrower than 12.4". Somewhere around a 11.2". A 12.4" is a little big/wide for a 9 inch rim. You end up with more tire than tractor.

I have a '53 VAI with 12.4 X 24 tires on the rear. This is the way I purchased it and believe the rims are original Case VAI rims. They are about as big as you can go before hitting the fenders. Good luck.
