sorry my tires were 12.4-28 but even at that thats still over priced my rims were 11 in. yours might be 12 in. so add 10.00 to the rim

Sounds like a high price for that tire I bought 2 used 12.4 by 38 tires mounted at the dealers for $301 both with about 3/4 tread. Walt

Phil, Don't give it a second thought. Just make sure the wheel you're buying is in better shape than the one you've got. I think you could pick up a new wheel from Nova for about 300 bucks... and I woldn't want to give much more than a hundred for a half worn tire... Might not hurt ya to give Adrian or Sherman a shout down there and see what they want.
I installed an A&I wheel (that size) for a guy this spring and I think it was under 300 for the wheel. I wasn't too impressed with the quality of the wheel since it wasn't rolled quite 'round', but I did finally get it on the center. It's working OK now for him, so that might be something to consider...

I would agree with Jim. There is probably more difference in diameter between brands and by running chains and air pressure than what you are looking at.

There is no reason to worry. THe difference in rolling diameter will mean absolutely nothing to any wear on the differential. Think of plowing with one wheel gripping well in the furrow, and the other doing most of the slipping on the surface. No one considers that to be a problem, and it is not. On a car, Especially with limited slip differential, and the high speed handling of an interstate to contend with, sure. But tread wear is usually not considered even there. Go for it. JimN

Quich solution. Change the old tire to new rim.
