Ok I run 13.6x28's on my WC but keep hearing the same thing. Switch to 38's....with piss poor gearing ratios and stock engine, why? What's so much better about a taller tire? This question has plagued me awhile. I run farm stock and usually 3mph. I understand wider, just not taller. ------------- Central PA Allis Express 1934 WC254 1945 WF 1945 WC135755 1951 WD68085 1953 WD45-150217 1957 WD45D-230744D B110 |

I'll let smarter people than me answer this one, but, I will say that I have a set of 18/19 - 26 combine tires on one of my WD's and set it besides the one w/ 12-28's and they are the same height which should, in my mind mean the same footprint ------------- I am still confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

| i used to think like you guys,until i saw the guys with 38's beating me with 16.9x26 tires.put the combine tires back on the combines.look at the bottom of 38 tires then look at the bottom of 28 tires,38 tires will have one more bar almost touching the ground,when you start to pull hard,the third bar will be pulling.I am glad i switched when i did.good luck.PS-the guys beating you already switched,probably. |

| Mike nailed it! I did the same comparing between 34's and 38's and there is quite a difference even there. |

16.9's, not 18/19! ------------- I am still confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. Ps 27 |

| I run pressed steel (9 bolt) wheels with adapters made for use with axle mount duals. |

i used band-type duals with f&h flat-spoked hubs,it was a lot of work,but well worth it.a lighter option would be to use centers from a f-20 farmall. |

most pulls go by the natpa sqare inches tire chart that use to be on the firestone ag site . Its pretty straight foward run the largest square inches of foot print they will let you ------------- people if they don't already know it you can't tell them. quote yogi berra |
