I need a refresher on what size tires to look for. The tractor is a Super AV and is sitting on one rim due to a side wall blowout. I have used a caliper to measure around the tires and have used the OUTSIDE of the rim roll as my measurement point. Someone told me long ago to subtract 1/2" from each side for the roll on the rim so that would make these 8" rims because I measured 9".
NOW...if I did that right, what range of tire size can I use? The tire that blew was an 11.?? x 36. The good tire on the other side is 12.4 x 36. I need to buy a used tire but the only 12.4 x 36 tires I can find are in the hands of a well known dealer and he wants a price I cannot justify. I have found a guy with a reasonably priced set of 10" tires but don't know if they will work. New is out of the question. I like the wider tires but figure that the narrow ones wouldn't look so bad on the high crop. Will the 10 x 36 work?
