Carlisle 16X6.50-8 4pr Superlug Tyre, Tractive, Open Centre, Garden Tractor

Needed agricultural 4ply tire for my front end loader garden tractor. Decided on these based on review even thou they were much more expensive then alternatives.The tires I received are 2ply carlisle turf tires, worth less than half what I paid and completely useless for my application.I have submitted request for refund, Very unhappy as now there is further delays in getting my tractor running for snow removal..

These are made to be the drive tires on a walk behind machine of sorts, I however used them as the front steer wheels on my antique garden tractor, and they work awesome. I have a super heavy dozer plow in comparison to todays flimsy box store stuff, these old plows alone are heavier than most new yard tractors. The tires hold up the weight of the 1100Lb tractor plus me, plus the plow with no issue they don't even squat a tiny bit. Very happy with the strength and durability of these tires, and absolutely the way to go throw those turf tires in the trash and get a set of these.

Great value for the money. Working fine. Good traction. Have to put in front of heater first, then mount up fairly easy by hand with a couple tire bars. You don't need the manual tire mounting contraption. Just put the old tire in front heater to remove do same to install, I used heavy solution of Dawn dish soap, used my knees to help hold tire in place on floor and everything went fine.

The front turf tires on my garden tractor tended to slip while turning, unless I was going very slow and turned very gradually. And this was on grass! I planned to use this tractor to plow snow this winter, and I knew that if I couldn't even turn on grass, I'd have no chance on snow. Rather than put chains on my front tires (there's not a lot of clearance) I decided to try these ag / lug style tires. I have them installed "backwards" (lugs make a V when you look down at the top of the tire), which seems to be the recommendation for better traction on non-drive wheels. If you're mounting these on rear wheels, or if you have a 4WD tractor, it will probably work better to install them "normally" (lugs make a ^ when viewed from the top).I got a chance to try them while plowing the first real snow of the season yesterday, and they work even better than I'd hoped! I didn't skid at all while turning. I was also able to push fairly heavy with my plow angled, which I've heard causes the front end of small tractors to just slip sideways. No slipping, no skidding, reasonable price from Amazon; I'm a happy camper.The one complaint I've heard about using lug tires is that they'll mess up your lawn. I won't be able to check this until next spring, but I'm really not concerned, for the following reasons: First, when the old turf tires skidded sideways instead of turning the tractor, they damaged the lawn. Since these lug tires prevent/reduce skidding, they should also prevent/reduce that damage. The only damage I could see from these would be turning the wheels sharply while the tractor is not moving - in that case, this style tire would twist out more grass than the slippery turf tires. But turning in place isn't good for the steering gears anyway, so I try to avoid it.EDIT: After mowing with these for a whole summer season, I can confirm that lawn damage was simply not an issue, especially with these tires on the front of a tractor. They gripped very effectively even when turning on wet grass, but never left noticeable indentations or caused any damage.Overall I'm very happy with these tires. Big improvement over the OEM turf tires.

These tires are nice and fit well. The description says they are 16.5x6.50-8 but the tires I received were 16x6.50-8. That’s what was on my tractor anyway so no big deal.
