Tires TIRE SIZING FOR 1988 FORD 1920 4x4 FEL

[fried1765]

Last October I bought a 1988 Ford 1920 4x4 FEL with 1067 hours.
It had 14.9 x 24 R-1 rear tires, but the rims were shot (calcium chloride).
I bought new rims, and new 13.6 x 24 R-1 tires as a better choice for use with my new 60" wide King Kutter tiller.
My original fronts are 8 x 16 R-1s as I recall ( I am not near the tractor).
The fronts could use replacing, but I am not sure if new 8 x 16 R-1 fronts would be the correct size tire to use with the new 13.6 x 24 R-1 rears.

I'm no tire expert, but we're the rear replacement tires the same overall height as the originals. If so you want the same size. You would probably have more and better responses if you place this in the tire section of the forum. Good luck

7-16 R-1 tires are the correct match to the 13.6-24 R-1 rear tires. The R-3 turf tires are 18.4-16.1 rear and 27-8.50 fronts. Bill C
