Carlisle Turf Saver Bias Tire - 18x7.50-8 4 by Carlisle

Shipped whole via UPS, not compressed or misshapen as some have reported. Mounted promptly, inflated to 14 lbs, these 2 rear tires have not lost any air after 2 cuttings over some rough ground with my Toro zero turn mower. Nice grip on sloping and wet ground. Definitely a good experience and recommended!

I expect that the tires will be fine but the shipping was horrible. Bought with Amazon and shipped thru UPS with no respect for the tire. Anyone that has has to seat the bead to the rim will understand. Edit...installed and tires are great. Took 4 hours and several ratchet straps to install because they were terrible mishaped from shipping or storage

These tires are as advertised with thicker wallsl than my OEM tires, but that came with a decreased give in tire giving it a firmer ride. The tires are a little narrower than the originals and less rounded on the edges, but they fit the odd sized rims that this mower came with. I simply lowered the air pressure in the tires to soften the ride. Overall a good quality tire but with narrower path they do not grip quite as well but are OK.

Hate to do it, but I’ve replaced my original 5 star review with this one after using these tires most of the season. These have a serious tread design flaw, even when inflation is adjusted within the recommended range. A few times I cut my lawn when the grass was dry, but the turf was still a bit moist from rain several days prior. Each time, when these tires first lost grip, they spun and tread filled with dirt while ripping up the turf. Tire tread design is supposed to eject material from between the treads on the way back around, so there is sustained traction. However, these retain the dirt in the treads so that when they rotate back around there is only a small amount of the knobbies protruding. This results in poor traction and ripping turf for a long time. This could also be dangerous, because I slid out of control down a couple slopes in my lawn. Even running the mower on my driveway wouldn’t eject the dirt from the treads. My lawn now has ripped up tracks all over it. The only applications I think these might work with is slopped very dry terrain or totally flat terrain. But slopped dry terrain probably doesn’t have grass growing on it and if you have a totally flat lawn you’d be better off with a less aggressive turf tire. I hate to go through the expense and hassle of changing tires again, but probably will so I can work on getting new grass to grow in the many ripped up places on my lawn caused by these tires.

The perfect size, price, and shipping. Fast delivery, description was right on and the price was great too.
