tire size
- Thread starter rayc
- Start date
I usually divide the section width by 25.3, so the 355 divided by 25.3=14.03

One thing I'll forewarn you about this particular tire, is that it's tube type and often Kubota doesn't put tubes in them from the factory. That causes the tire to weather check prematurely, and if loaded with ballast accelerates that condition big time. They'll leek like a seive and it's not the tires fault but the manufacture that failed to put it together right.
On that note, if that happened to you on a new tractor purchase I'd be all over my dealer to get ahold of Kubota and have them make it right even if includes replacement of the tires and of course include the tubes.
You'll have a tough time finding a 388/80-20 tube by the way, and very pricey of you do. Search instead for a combination 15/18R19.5 with the TR218 valve stem and it's a perfect fit. Being close to Soo Michigan you can always cross the bridge as U P Tire in Soo Michigan stocks them.

hello everyone new to this site. i just bought a L3750dt tractor and it needs a lot of work. I have 16.90-24 tires on the back and they are bald. i have a pair of 12 ply 13.00-24 tires that are new does anyone now if i will have any problems running them?
How is the lack of a tube going to cause a tire to weathercheck? Of course if the tire does develop cracks right through then a tube might get it to hold air temporarily........ not a very good fix IMO!!!!
