OK Guys I need some advice about rear tire sizes that wouuld be alright or look OK on a 1946 Farmall AV. I need to replace the rear tires on a AV that my son and myself have been working on. It had 9" X 36" tires on it. They were dry rotten so I removed and trashed them. The rims on the tractor are 7 1/2" wide. I have cleaned the rims good, primed, and re-painted them.

A friend gave me a set of real good 36" tires with about 95% tread left and no weather cracking at all. On the side wall it reads 11" wide on a 10" rim or 12" wide on a 11" rim. What do you guys think about mounting them on the 7 1/2" rims that I have and use them. I do not plan to work this tractor. I just want to take it to a couple of shows or parades in my area with my son.

At this time I am on a real tight budget, due to the health conditions of my wife and son. Both have had major problems this year and money is real tight at this time. My son wants me to get it going for him ASAP.

So what wouild you guys do? Use the ones that were given to me, or wait until I can spare the $650.00 for new 9.5" X 36" tires and tubes.

Thanks

Your rims are likely 7 inches, not 7.5, unless they are aftermarket. The Super AV (I assume the AV is the same) came with 7,8,9, and 10 inch rims. The rim is measured from the inner edge of the lip where the tire bead seats, not to the edge of the rim. If 9's (9.5) looked ok, I wouldn't go any larger as that rim was designed for 8's. I have never heard of a dual size tire. Those are either 11-36's or 12-36's, they can't be both. However in the 30's they did put wide tires on narrow rims, performance was poor. You can get those tires on your rims, but you may not like the way they look, as the tread will be curved.

...but just to get tires on it... and they were FREE.

Go ahead and squeeze the tires on there for now. You can always save up and buy the right ones, or wider rims, later.
