	I currently own an I-40 Loader/Backhoe that has 14.9x24" tires on the rear. They are pretty warn but do hold air or liquid? Question: She seems to sit low in the back and wanted to raise her up about 2-4" in the rear. What size tire can I use and still use the 14.9 x 24 rims? I will need 6ply - R4 tires by next year and looking out for some good priced used or new ones- can't really afford them now- but just want to know to keep an eye out thru winter. Thanks in advance... Chris

	With the 24" rims I think you will be limited to any height, I have 18.4 X 24 on my 715B but the width is more that your present rims will take I believe. I have 16.9 X 24 8 ply Ind Lug on my 460 IH Utility Might look at a wider low profile tire on the front as the ones you have seem to raise that end of machine up

	Get some 16.9 or 18.4 X 26 tires and wheels off a combine. They would lift you up about right. I have 18.4 X 26's off a JD 4400 on my D17.

	All great input- and now I have to think about a tire for the front- the ones on there are bald. That is a good idea to lower frt. profile not sure if it helps or hurts handling? Any ideas on sizes that will use the stock rims? I think there are HD 6ply trailer tires on there now 7.5x15" or 16". I really do not want to change rear rims- cant afford it. I will have to take my chances to find the 14.9 if thats all that will fit my rims. Thank You everyone for the Help... Chris

	The parts book for the I60 / I600 lists the same part number for the wheel to use on both the 14.9 and 16.9 x 24 tires and a different number for the 12.4 x 24 tires. it would seem logical this might hold true for the I40 also. I measured the offset of the wheels on my I60 and on the 580 CK case, they are not the same. I would stick with the wheels you have, which are most likely the correct ones with the proper offset for your tractor, and just upsize to a 16.9 x 24 tire. Oddly enough, the Case 580CK only has 14.9 tires, and the I60 has 16.9's. The 16.9's are about 3" taller. On my D-17, the 16.9's are about 7" taller than the 14.9's on the WD-45, both have 13"wide rims. The height to width ratio must be a lot different for R1 and R4 tires. Combine tires are not R4
