Wondering which Ag tire size options will work on your equipment? Use the Rolling Circumference Index (RCI) Chart!
How It Works
Rolling Circumference Index Chart, or RCI Chart categorizes farm tires in accordance with overall diameter / rolling circumference along with section width / row spacing.
See complete definitions of rolling circumference and section width at http://agtiretalk.com/ag-tire-glossary/
RCI Group, within RCI Chart, is used to make changing tire widths easy, with all tires in same group maintaining virtually same overall diameter, displaying size options that will fit equipment along with application.
Below is Example of Group 46 Alternate Sizes:
As shown above, in Group 46 (73″ overall diameter):

Below are two great RCI Charts I like to use from Goodyear Titan & Firestone Ag:

How to Summary
To determine alternate sizes for tractor, here’s what to do using Goodyear Titan’s user friendly RCI Chart shown below:
Why not give the RCI Index Chart a try?
It is important to note that some equipment cannot use all alternate sizes listed for a variety of reasons including space limitations, drivetrain limitations, and other factors.

I have a spray coupe with rear duals 340/85R24. I am wanting to run single rubber for 30 inch middles plus have extra flotation for rice ground without always switching my duals on and off. Will a 380/85R24 fit on the same rim?
Could you please provide year and model number of your Spra-Coupe?
I would like to research further with specifics.
Thank You
