Changing rear tire sizes

Therapydoc · 2018-03-06 20:54

anything wrong with going a size smaller or larger? I have a ford 575d which uses 18.5x24. There’s a lot of uses 19.4/19.3 whatever the size is and also some 17s. Staying with 24” rim but would you go up or down a size? I just use it around the farm but my tires are getting pretty worn but I can’t justify new tires as little as it’s used.

    My idle speculation is that it depends on if it's 2x4 or 4x4. Two wheel drive no problem, four wheel more complicated. Good luck

    It is 4x4

    With 4x4 it's important to keep ratio of the rolling circumferences close to what it is now.
