The 12.4 will stand up taller. Your tractor will sit all lop-sided, and the differential gears will be constantly working at different speeds.

You should have the same size on both sides..so the differential in the rear-end does not wear out..
The 11.2 is much smaller than the 12.4 and will not pull nearly as much and will leave ruts when the 12.4 will not..
Not a good choice..

all that will happen is the spider gears will be turning all the time. for example when you get stuck with your tractor or truck and have one wheel spinning and one not rotating will do far more damage than diff. sized tires. thats because the spiders are turning slowly to compensate for the uneven sized tires, vs turning 100 mph when one wheel is stopped.
so in reality nothing will happen as that is what the diff is desighned to do. thats if you can stand to look at your tractor with diff. sized tires.

Out side of looks it realy wont hurt a thing. When we pulled a moldboard plow one wheel was in the furrow and the other on land always slipped a little and thee tractors ean for many years you wont be in the field for days on end under a heavy pull. There ate tons of old tractors running around and dont have matched rear tires. Dont worry enjoy your tractor.

It don't make much difference,Some say that it's hard on the differential.
That being said - Take two matching new mounted tires and measure them. If you check the circumference you could find as much as 12" difference in them. They are not exactly the same.
I would love to have matching tires on 1 of the 4 tractors around here.
