My Ford 8N 11.2X28 rear tires are dry rotting and worn out. I can get FREE 13.2X28 tires but .... 2 of 3 have "hair" "beards" on the bead.
Can that beard be fixed with some kind of tire rubber goo?
Is it OK to use them like this since they have inner tubes?
Can run those on 11.2X28 rims or do I really need new rims? (11.2X28 are 10 Inch rims, these are for 12 inch rims.)

BTW, one looks like it does not have a beard and while faded looks OK - no dry rot. One obviously has dry rot. All have unused tread, sad to waste.

FREE is an exceptional bargain! Grab all 3. No issues with 4wd lead/lag. ... Shave off the hair. Store the "spare".

The bead is what holds the tire on the rim, I would not mount them......:2cents:

It's an 8N so he's going to be running tubes anyhow...

Because the bead is suspect and the rim is non-spec. I would inflate them only in a tire cage. And use them carefully. There is a danger of a tire blow-out. Sometimes cheap is expensive.

Skip to 3:00 Bead wires failed.

i would run them ... take a lighter or something and burn the hair off ...
i would also run tubes for safety
the rims are a little small [depending on the tire itself] but a bit higher in the middle is okay, compensate for that with a couple pounds less pressure

I have used two sets of tires with 'hair' on them in the past, they are still installed [with calcium chloride] and tubes, and are still going ...
This is NOT the wire beading coming loose, if that is broken, they are not safe to use...
