This is kinda along the lines of Brad's earlier post. As I mentioned, I have double bevel rims with 15.5-38's on my SMDTA. I need new rims and tires. What should I do? My first thought was just buy new rims and tires. I'm looking at about 1200 bucks for that! Ouch. I want good tires, Firestones or Goodyears, no chinese tires. I know 15.5 is not factory tire size on a letter series row crop. 13.6 is, right? I'm pretty sure I have 560 hubs, or was a double bevel rim an option? I don't really like the looks of a 15.5 tire, its too wide. Great traction, I just don't think it looks right. Should I get M hubs and go back to a narrower tire? Do I need new hubs or can I get a 12 inch double bevel rim? What about a 14.9 tire? How wide of rim does that need? I guess I've never seen a double bevel rim narrower than 14 inches. Do they exsist?

This is a little off from Bob's post but will a 15.5 fit good on a 12 inch rim or do I need at least a 14 inch rim.

Hi, On my 450D I like 14.9 better than 15.5, the extra height is better for the corn picker, and hauling manure in snow. And it seems they have better traction in the muddy yards. They will work well on either a 13 or 14 inch rim. Good luck, Chuck

For what it's worth. I think the 15.5s look very good on an M, super M, or SMTA.

it's up to you but i would get the right hubs and rims. 13.6 [12] - 38 and 14.9 [13]- 38 were available for your super mtad from the factory. yes double bevel rims narrower than fourteen inch are available i have had several sets of eleven and twelve inch wide ones.
