Need 11x26 Tires for my Case model S

My 1948 Case Model S restoration is going good. Unfortunately, I need new tires and it seems like the original 11x26 tires are no longer made. Now what? Is there any place I can find a usable pair. The tractor currently has a mis-matched set with one being 12x26. I would really like to find a matched set.

Remember those are old numbers. An 11-26 is now a 12.4-26
and a 12-26 is now a 13.6-26. I have 13.6-26 tires on my d14
allis chalmers tractor and also my w-4 international. Those are
to models that also use that size.
 
You should be able to find a fairly good pair of 12.4 x 26 tires off an older combine. Like the one of the other posters stated. Look at an older combine salvage yard.
 
I have a pair of 11s or 12s from a JD 45 combine that I parted out. Lots of them in salvage yards- generally pretty good tread left.
 
Thank's for the ideas. I didn't realize the size
designation had changed. Any specific leads in the
Sandusky, Ohio area would be appreciated.

Here is what the tractor looks like now. Lots more
to do, but I'm having fun!

I dought that they would have any. Several years ago they cleaned out most of the smaller older machines. And you would have to find a high 45 to have that small of a tire and they were 12" now 13.6 and most were 13" or now 14.9 with some of them having a 15" tire. Think the 40 series were 24" wheels. Don't know what Gleaner or IHC had on smaller machines but not many around here ever. I am about 30 mile from Spallenger's and shopped there a lot when I was still farming.
 
Size designation has changed, but that doesn't help availability much.

Small 26" tires don't seem to be made anymore. It's all 24" or 28".

Only place I found anything even close in new tires is Miller Tire, at $460 apiece for an 8-ply 13.6x26. BKT makes some "deep tread" in that size, but I doubt you're looking for "rice tires."

14.9x26 seems real common for MFWA tractors, and there's a bunch of them on ebay right now new and used.
