Rear tire size for YM1700

[SailorBob]

I need new tires for my YM1700. The rears are currently 8.3-24. What is the largest tire that i can use on my current rims? I would like to go to the 9.5-24 if possible. One of them is starting to separate. I think that it has probably dry rotted. I have heard that the rice tires are hard to come by. So, I thought that since I will need 2 that I would like to have some wider ones if the rims can accommodate them. Any suggestions? Funds are limited.

Thanks,
Bob

Id check with hoye and see what he has. If your not familiar with him his ad is at the top of this page. His business is hoye tractor, we all use him. You can also talk to your local tractor tire place they should be able to tell you what will or wont fit on that width rim and what sizes that they can get for you, which may help narrow your choices, that is if you want traditional american ag tires.
