Rears- 11.2x28
Fronts- are still 4.00x19
Good luck. The fronts are about $50.00 each and the rears are nearing the $200.00 each depending on brand.

Stay with the 10 x 28 tyres on the rear, the 11 x 28 will make it higher geared and it may not have enough power for what you need. You should still be able to get 10x28 tyres in Argentina as they were popular size on Ford and MF tractors up to 135 model. Any of the big manufacturers should still make them, Goodyear or Firestone are the biggest.

John, my '54 TEA has 12.4 tyres. They are big. I was wondering about gearing, and added load for the drive train to turn these suckers (they are fluid-filled). Are 11.2 original size? My '52 has 10.8 - were these original size for that year? Any big disadvantage to running the larger tyres?

Thanks

Chuck

I have no idea what tyres were fitted that particular year in US, over here in UK we had 10 x28 which were popular with the vegetable growers due to the width of the rows and 11 x 28
larger diameter tyres will obviously make the gearing taller and doing the work tractors have to do it can make a big difference to the speed. If you are working almost flat out that extra little bit of forward speed may make all the difference to doing the job easily or struggling. Some say that the wide tyres keep it on top of the ground when it wet going and some say you are better with narrower ones to cut through the top slime onto the hard going underneath. The thing I have seen that I disagree with is having the wheels going around like windmills because there is too much gas on, just slow it down and maybe the wheels will grip better and it certainly wont wear the tyres the same, if you go slower the governor will gently apply the power if it is needed and reduce spin.

The modern US 10x28 is not the same size as the TO35 era 10x28. Modern tires are specified by the maximum width, not the rim width which is what they were in the old days and the 11.2 x28 is the same size tire everywhere as the old 10x28.

I think you will find that Argentina isn"t as far forward as the US
