Many years ago the industry changed the rating system from rim width to cross-sectional tire width. About 1960, and some will argue just when that was. But, with the old size marking system an 11-24 was for an 11 inch wide rim, 24 inches in diameter. The cross-sectional width (the bulge, not the tread width) was 12.4 inches. So a new tire will be marked 12.4 x 24, and fits properly on an 11 inch rim. Generally you can go one inch wider or narrower on a rim without problems, but it is recommended that both tires match.
