Tires Massey Ferguson 1260

[Jdanco81]

Hey guys, I am going to be converting my 1993 Massey Ferguson 1260 from turf to R1 ag tires. The turfs are 212/80 d15 and 355/80 d20. I already sourced the 11x24 rear rims and centers. I spoke with the dealer and they said the 7x15 front rims I have would be suitable to put an ag tire on to match the rears. The only 7.00x15 ag style tire I have found is for a skid steer. I know you have a 0-5% margin. All the research I have done leads me to believe I may have to get 8x16 rims unless I can be within spec with the rolling circumference. My question is what size tire is everyone else running on this model tractor?

It appears that tractor would have originally come with 8.00 X 16 ag tires on front: TractorData.com Massey Ferguson 126 tractor information

I saw that already. The dealer told me it came with 7x15 originally.

I ended up using 10x24 rear rims and 5.5x16 front wheels. The R1 tire ratio worked out with 12.4x24 rears and 7x16 fronts.
