There are thousands of tractors with loaders on farms equipped with 38" tires, it probably is the most common diameter. A 38" tire can range anywhere from 11.2 to 20.8 inches wide. If you need the extra weight, then you need it, especially if the tire is on the smaller side for the horsepower. I have 13.6X38 bias tires on a 70 horse tractor and I didn't replace the calcium, now I have some slippage If you have radials you may get away without added weight, but with bias tires on a working tractor 9 times out of 10 you will need added weight.

Tom-You are not giving enough info. If it is in fact a tubeless tire(not likely) then you will have to break the bead.
Is it just leaking from the core? A lot of times all you have to do is remove the old core and put a new one in and you will be OK. I put a little anti-seize on the core before screwing it in. It really isn't a bad idea to replace the cores every year or two, whether leaking or not.
