Low Pressure Tyres on Old Rims

    My 30 Year old tractor (DB 995) needs new tyres. One is about to burst on the side so time to change.
    Just wondering, is it possible to put these new low ground pressure tyres on the old rims.
    With all the rain we're getting, I want to make it easier to travel the land.

    The tyres on it at present are
    13.6 - 36
    DN 12 RIM
    12-36

    Are these low pressure tyres also called "Radial" and the old ones cross-ply?
    Is that right?

    Radial and crossply are two different form of tyre construction, generally radials can be run at slightly lower pressures but to see a big difference you need to go to low profile tyres, these are wider while still having the same diameter so the gearing of the tractor doesn't change.

    According to this it's not possible to fit low profiles to your existing rims so your best option might be to look at a set of secondhand rims and tyres, I'd suggest giving agrigear a shout, they used to have a big selection of good secondhand tyres and rims, at the very least you'd know what would be suitable replacements and a realistic idea of how much you'd have to spend.
