4.00-12 size REAR tires on early Rj's ???

Recommended Posts

I have a pair of 4.00-12 tires on 4 x 12 rims that came off of an Rj-58.    I replaced them with 6" wide wheels, but wonder if the 4" rims were used on earlier models.   The tires are B.F.Goodrich Silvertowns,  4.00-12, Multi-Ring, 4-ply.   They were 'tri-ribs' before being worn down.   Were these original to any WH model?    Are they worth anything, eventhough the tires are worn?   I don't want to trash them if they have some value to someone who wants something 'original'.  This size tire for the rim is still available from m.e.Miller, but not with a tri-rib.

Are you sure they are 4"? I have been looking for a set of 3" x 12" for my senior. That was the original size front tire for the senior. They were not original to the RJ.

The Farmall Cub came with 4.00 X 12 front tri-rib tires, but the hub and rim were mot the same.

The rim is actually close to 3", but it is also the common 5-lug hole spacing that fit on the Rj-58, not for an axle that you would have on the front of an Rj Senior.

I am pretty sure those are worn out front tri ribs off something else and they just used them on the RJ. They could have very well came off of a Farmall Cub. 

 

EDIT Just reread the original post, never mind!!
