In the old days (and on cars now) the first number was the width of the tread and the second number was the width of the rim. Today's tractor tires are measured differently. The rim is still 38 inches across but the new 'first' numbers indicate how tall the tire is from the rim to the tread. Think of it as how far the rim would be from the ground if the weight of the tractor weren't pressing down on the tire. Bigger tires cost more, and change (slightly) your speed in any gear. They usually have deeper cleats which has it's advantages too. I have 14.9 X 38s on my H. (13 inch wide rim)
