Tire question

This has been covered millions of times on here. I never seem to pay enough attention if I don't need any tires and can't seem to come up with anything in a search.

I need new tires for the manure spreader. It just so happens that they are the same size as my Farmall A rears (9-24's). I only use the A to mow a little barnyard and run the augers. Even so, it makes more sense to put the new ones on the tractor and swap the old ones to the spreader.

Where can I get cheap tires? I have looked up Galaxy and they are high. The Coop will have limited options but Galaxy will be one. I'd prefer to put the old tractor tires on there for traction when pulling through wet lots. If I went with airplane tires I may have issues with side sliding.
 
The term cheap and tires do not go along with each other. Now days your lucky to find a tire in that size for under $250 each if not a whole lot more.
 
Just a few weeks ago someone said to check out your local school bus garage. Most likely just get rid of them. Over the road trucks beat the crap out of tires but school buses just watch the tread. He also said something about newer rims being bigger so take your size numbers with you. When my dad got a brand new New Idea spreader many many years ago his friend at the cement plant worked on trucks and told him to come pick through the pile out back. Everything that looked good had bad side wall and very big cuts etc. The two he picked out had no tread left but a good case. They are still on there.Good luck.
 
School busses won't have 24.5 rubber like some over the road trucks use. 22.5 is the normal nowadays for busses and other medium sized trucks. I have 11-24.5 tires on my old cat road grader and the way the beads on a tubeless truck tire are shaped they seal fine tubeless on a old style 24" rim
