[AT] Tire size question

[Mike Sloane]

That is interesting, Joe. I was just looking at the tires on my Case 
430CK because someone offered me a set of 26" tires and rims. The ones I 
have are 14.9x24, and they are bigger than the 13.6x28s on my Ford 860.

I think the main thing you need to go by is the outside diameter of the 
tire, not the rim size. I measured the above 24" tires out at about 48".

You can see them at

(I was beginning to think I was the only guy in the northern hemisphere 
who owned a working Case 430 CK!)
