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

what's wrong with buying tires that already fit?

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
