They would be huge.
I doubt you could use two together in the back on the tandems without them rubbing each other or the tandem drive housing. You certainly want all 4 tires on the rear the same size because there is no differential between sides or between front and back on each side.
Tires for the 212 are a bit scarce. Seems like several years ago Denman made a commercial tread (or maybe it was a spade grip/farm tread) for that size.
Miller sell various x24 sizes (they list an 11.5x24 with 10x24 in parentheses I guess as a compatible. Take a look at the various options on this page http://www.millertire.com/categories/rear-tractor-tires/
I get my lawn tractor rubber from these guys and have been happy with them. They have a bunch of less common stuff as well.
I have 11.2 x 24 tires on our machine. They work well and there are no clearance issues. These were new old stock Goodyear with more than adequate load rating for the machine.
Our channel highlights machines from the earliest Holt and Best track-type tractors, equipment from the start of Caterpillar in 1925, up to units built in the mid-1960s.
