If you go back to rim sizes, the old size tire markings- you can go one inch wider or narrower than the rim. A 16.9 tire is matched to a 15 inch rim. A 14.5 (aren"t you talking 14.9?) is matched to a 13 inch rim. Go bigger or smaller by one inch- it"s ok but beyond that- they look funny and work extremely poorly. If by chance, your rim is 14 inch- it would work. Decimal tire sizes are measurements at the bulge (maximum width) of the tire- and some will correct me and say they are taken at the face of the tread. Bottom line is- if you are talking old size markings- do not go more than one inch above or below the rim width.

If you 16.9's are on 15" wide rims, like mine are, a 14.9 tire might not work so well. A 14.9 really wants to be on a 12" wide rim.

I assume you mean 14.9. Both the 14.9 and 16.9 are designed for a 14" rim. If you have a 14" rim the choice is yours. If 16.9's are recommended for your tractor you will not be happy with the smaller tire. You will have less tractor.

I wouldn't know why they wouldn't work. Not sure why you would want to drop down in size. On a rear tractor tire with a tube it would work.
