I have to dissagree with others, The old Firestones were good tires but when they went to the 23* field and road tires they were junk, sidewalls would not hold up (we had to put reliners in to try to get a bit more ware out of them, replaced with 75% tread left) and they did not have the traction of the 45* tire (working round for round with both) ( the 23* in a 12.4 is the same size as a 45* in a 11.2 tire) would not clean out with mud and when I was at the Firestone tire proving grounds I told the engineres there I would never own anouther Firestone tire because they are JUNK. I have gone with the Armstrong since (several sets on different tractors) and they are the best tire I have owned. And that 16.9 X 38 I think is way too large a tire for that tractor, A 4000 that is forrunner of the 4610 took a 13.6 X 38 and enything else was way too big. Now if it had the 30" wheels then a 16.9 would be correct
