F-14 Rear Tire Sizes

Anonymous-0 · May 30, 2009

I'm restoring an F-14. It came with two different rear tire sizes on 11" rims. One is a 10-38, the other is 12.4-38. Makes the tractor look lopsided. According to the tire charts, the 10-38 is an incorrect tire size for an 11" rim. According to the tire charts the 12-38 is supposed to be used on a 12" rim. My question is, can I use the 12-38 on an 11" rim without running the risk of it looking like a balloon? I'm not having much luck finding a 12.4-38 tire but, I've spotted a 12-38 that I think will work and wanted some opinions before I make an offer to purchase it.

12.4 is the modern verson of the old 11-38 size. You will want a 11.2 to go with your 10-38 or another 12.4. The modern size equal to the 12-38 that you have found in a 13.6, I believe. (My $0.02 worth. jal-SD)

Yep, that's what I was afraid of. Guess I'll continue looking for a 12.4-38. Thanks
