Used Firestone 11.2 24’s

[EZ]

Found these used 11.2 24’s.
100Cdn each.
About 60% wear.
They are stamped for 10in rims, so I am not sure if the will fit on what I have on my 130.
It appears one side is 9” and the other rim appears as 8” if I have measured correctly.
Any comments appreciated.

I paid closer attention to Jim Becker’s reply in a previous post, which I quote:

“Changing rim widths altered the measurement, thus the additional labeling of the rim width such as "on a 9" rim". The rim width callout was usually more than the size that had been used with the older tires.

By the way, I don't think I ever saw a Super A with 8-24 tires and the offering was dropped after a while. The 100/130/140 all had 9-24 as standard. Later on, the standard for the 140 became 11.2-24. The 140 parts catalog only lists 8 and 9 inch rims.”

I have my answer pretty clear.
The tires I mention do say ‘On 10” Rim’.

It is a statement, not a law.

Statement reads 11.2-24 on 10" rim.

Meaning the 11.2 width is obtained on a 10" rim.

The manufacture dont want you calling up complaining that the tires are only 10.9" wide because they are mounted on a 9" rim!

Off by 1" on rim width is no big deal. Won't even notice a difference.

2" can be done but it will be a little more work to get the tire mounted and the tire may look a little bulged out at the sides.

I would invoke "beggars can't be choosers" here. You need tires, and there is a solid pair of tires sitting there in front of your face at a fair price. Don't let a minor compromise stand in the way.

Follow the advice in your signature.

I reverted to chooser and ordered a new set of Galaxy Earth Pro’s.
My 130 deserves them for the many years of faithful service.
I got a deal on them, took my own advice and ‘did it’. New tubes came in today.
Can’t wait to get them.
