I read 11 somewhere but that was probably with 12.4 tires or whatever the old number was. Dad put 13(14.9)-24's on the CA way back to keep it afloat in plowed ground and that made her run a little faster. I have 12.4-24's on her now and I think it will do 11+.

I'm pretty sure they came with 10-24's. Unless they used different sizes when they felt like it. Mine had the originals and that's what they were. I went to 11.2 with the new ones. I got right around 11 or 12 before the new tires but the book said 13.25. It varies how fast your idle is set too.
