Tires

Posted by Scott-Missouri on October 04, 2003 at 19:41:57 from (208.178.240.144):

My question may seem trivial, but I wan't sure of where to turn for this. My grandfather had a tire on his tractor blow out and would like to have a replacement. He bought this rather old tractor for $200 a few years ago and doesn't want to spend much on a tire if possible. I was able to find a tire that I think might work, but don't really know how to read the numbers on the tire to determine if it is close enough for use. The old tire has the following information on it: 12,4/11-24 6 Ply rating. Can anyone tell me what the 12,4 means? I found a tire that states: 11-24 8 Ply rating, but it does NOT have anything in front of the 11-24. What do all of the numbers mean and do you think the tire I found would be close enough for use?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
