Key Features

• Tire Size: The 23x8.5-12 size fits many common riding mowers and garden tractors, making replacements simpler to match to existing rims.
• Load Capacity: Rated to 1190 lbs at 22 psi, these tires support heavier equipment and loads typical of lawn and light farm duties.

• Durable Construction: 4Ply tire body with a 2Ply sidewall offers a balance of strength and ride comfort for yard work and light off-road use.
• Fit Details: With a 7.0in rim width and 8.5in section width, the tires mount to standard rims used on many mowers and carts for straightforward replacement.

Who It's For

This set is aimed at homeowners, landscapers with smaller equipment, and hobby farmers who need a dependable tire that reduces turf scuffing while providing improved traction.
