My Farmall 130, equiped with 12.4x24 rear tires and about half worn. One tire developed quite a large break about 3" long on side wall, with tube protruding. I didn't really want to match it up with a new tire because of the size difference. Yesterday I ran across a good used tire with same 45 degree tread and about same tread wear as my tires. Bought it and at home I started comparing it with my current tires as it looked different. Turns out my current tires have 19 treads around the circumference while the tire I bought only has 16 treads. My question is will this tire have as much traction as my old tires? These 24" don't have a lot of tread on ground compared to 34", 38", etc. Just curious how much difference I will notice? My old tires are made in North America, this one is made in Poland. I called a tire guy I know. He tells me all small tractor tires today are made offshore in various parts of Europe and Asia, and even if I bought new tires in 24", I probably couldn't get more than 15 to 16 treads per tire. He joked with me, saying, " This is the industry's way of getting all you old guys to junk your little tractors and buy those $25,000. 4x4 monsters." I somehow get the feeling he may not be kidding. What are your thoughts?

Avery model A tractors. I am quite sure that most of it is accurate. The General GG was made by the Cleveland Tractor Company (Cletrac) of Cleveland, Ohio. Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
