No, it's 34 inch rear tractor tire, just in the metric size. Darrel |

| That would be about a 24x34 flotation tire. You'll need new rims to put on inplace of your 18.4x34 tire. |

| Thanks for the chart, Lee. I see that size is compared to an 18.4 34, but listed under the "large" series. If I get these tires, they would be replacing 18.4 34's on my one ninety gasser. But on the chart, there is an asterick, which indicates needing a rim change, I would guess it to mean that it requires a wider rim. Doesn't really say how much wider, though. I suppose that if I got the tires, it sometimes says on them how wide of a rim would be required. Then comes the question; do I try to find a set of new or used rims that are wider, or split the old ones with my plasma cutter and weld bands into them. Darrel |

Takes the fun out of it. Actually I have an optimistic hope that maybe I can snag these for a descent price, and they are an awesome tire. My XT could use a beefier set of meats on the back, so if I get these 600/65R34's, they'll probably go onto the XT, and the 18.4 X 38's presently on the XT will go onto the gasser. This is beginning to sound like a project for Eldon........Eldon....? ELDON.......? Are you there buddy, I need your help! Darrel |
