Lawn and Garden Tractor Tire,November 17, 2008
By CapnSpauldingfrom Montgomery County MD
"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!"

"This product was worth shopping around for! Northern's price was considerably lower than the home center's or lawn and garden place. It is performing well on my machine and I expect to get several years worth of service from it. The wait was the only problem, as it is ground shipped and not postal. I live in the rural US, so I wait for things ordered alot. The selection of tires carried by Northern is good and easy to find in the online catalog."
