H tires

Is there any reason to have 600 X 16 tires on an H??? The original tires were 5.50X16 according to the specs.

Guess I'm not fussy, I will put any tire that will fit and holds air on these old tractors.

The 6.00 or 6.50 sometimes looks more balanced with the larger rear tires that many Hs have now. I like the bigger sizes better but I agree that anything that will fit is good enough. A little more floatation can theoretically be had from a wider tire but I do not know how much difference it really makes.

It is all what appearance pleases you, I have the 6x16

We have a set of 7.50 x 15 tires on the front of our H. We adapted a pair of automotive rims.
We have really soft ground in the winter and wanted more floatation.

If you want it to look original, put on 5.50-16's. That's what they came with and look right with 12.4-38 (11-38) rear tires....(10-38's on the earlier ones). I personally think oversize front or rear tires take away the "balanced" look of most tractors. But, hey, it's your's...whatever....
