The tires need to fit the rim size (probably 16", but not for sure) 205R80 would probably fit. 195R80 would be a bit smaller. There are differences between tires from different manufacturers, so taking a measurement across the body of the old tire while inflated, and looking at the distance between it and the lower bolster casting at the top of the casting where the tire gets closest would be good to take with to the tire install. The fatter the harder steering, and the more susceptible to mud drag. But they also have a bit more flotation. The rim on the tractor will be narrower than original truck rim, so don't go too stiff. The narrow rim will also cause the tread to bulge just a bit, but not an issue. The $5.00 price is low due to the need for an appropriate tube, you could try the existing tubes, but they often do not like being being stretched to bigger interior volumes. Good luck, JimN

I’m par
