Height is different between manufactures. Goodyears are shorter then Firestones and bfgoodrich. Somerime up to 4" difference.

tractor tires are 2 numbers, the first number is the approxomite width, the second number is the rim size, and the overall height it a conversion between the 2 numbers, so 14.9x24s are 14.9wide on a 24rim, approxomite height is 52" when new, 16.9x24 or 16.9x26 are between 54-58" 23.1x26 is 62" i hope this helps

yea they are funky but heres some sizes i that ive taken on my two sets for my truck

18.4-26...19''wide x 26'' rim ...these are a 57'' tall tire

23.1-26...24'' wide x 26'' rim...they are 64'' tall

hghrdnhck is right though, goodyear, friestone, and BFg are all different manufacturerers and they call can be off by 2''-5'' even though they are the same tire!! yea i know, wierd but hey, what can ya do

also r-1's are just you normal everyday tractor tire.. your r-2's are your wonderful shovels most people call, rice and canes, these are on combines 90% of the time, they are awesome!! i will never compalin about mine
