Lawn and Garden Tractor Tire,

"After looking and calling around the local area nobody stocked this size tire, and only a few people could order one in. Those that could order one wanted around 3 times the price that Northern Tool wanted. I wasn't too thrilled with the idea of ordering the tire without seeing one first, especially since the price made me think it might be poor quality, but after receiving the tire I was very happy. The tire mounted easily in about 5 minutes with basic tools (pry bars and soapy water), looks great, and holds air! I immediately ordered a second tire to match. A bonus: The new tires grip my lawn a lot better than the old tires did. I'm no longer spinning up the turf on the small inclines!
The only problem I ran in to was in seating the tire on the bead. The tires that I received looked like they had something stacked on them so the tire was a bit flattened (the beads were close together). It took a few blasts of air and a bit of wiggling around to get both beads to seat on the rim at the same time.
If you need this size tire I can definitely recommend it. Inexpensive, good quality, and shipped quickly!"
