What is a Tractor Tire Size?

Tractor tire size refers to the measurements of a tire on a tractor, which are typically denoted in the form of a standardized code.

The size of a tractor tire is important because it can affect the performance and traction of the tractor in different farming conditions.

Important: The tire size is usually written on the side of the tire in the form of a code that includes three numbers separated by a slash, such as 12.4/28.

Tractor Tire Size Calculation Formula

Here’s how to interpret and calculate tractor tire size:

1. The first number indicates the tire width in inches. For example, in the size code 12.4/28, the first number (12.4) represents the tire width.
2. The second number is the tire aspect ratio, or the height of the tire sidewall as a percentage of the tire’s width. In code 12.4/28, the aspect ratio is 28%.
3. The third number is the rim diameter in inches. In code 12.4/28, the rim diameter is 28 inches.

To calculate the overall tire diameter, you can use the following formula:

Overall tire diameter = (tire width x aspect ratio / 100) x 2 + rim diameter (in inches)

Note that tire size can vary depending on the make and model of the tractor, and it is important to select the correct tire size and type for the specific farming application and soil conditions.
