Here's a good question for you tire guys what's a good tire that looks like an ag lug tire that won't tear up the lawn? I seen a tractor with the lug tire look on a cub cadet the lug was only 1/2 tall so it ride like a turf tire according to the tractor owner. He also said it doesn't tear up the lawn. Of course I forgot to look and ask who made the tire.

Lookin Good !! Can't wait to see the tires mounted so be sure and post a pic.  Thanks for sharing.

Nice, those look awesome!

[Digger 66 3,478]

Thanks for the positive feedback guys . 

Only thing is the fronts are "tube-type" , I figured they were tubeless  . had the website stated this , I would have bought the tubes  .

Any of you fellas found a tube for the rib style fronts ( or does it even matter ) ? 

I called the TSC nearby but the girl didn't seem too bright .

My local TSC had plenty of the correct size tubes in stock, I think alot of wheelbarrows use the size.  When I ordered my 4x8s GCT only had 1 tube, or so the cart said?

There's a clickable link in # 5

any 4x8 or 4.80x8 tube will work, wheelbarrow included

Thank you sir , now to find a place that carries them who isn't closed when I get off work .

I've used bar style ag tires for years without any damage to the lawn - less wheel spinning when turning around results in less damage . I even run chains on mine and it leaves no marks whatsoever . Turf tires spin too easily and cause way more damage than any lug tire ever will , unless you get wild and try to spin those , then you have holes .

What brand, are those Carlisle rears?  

[Digger 66 3,478]

Got the fronts (almost) done . The guy who put them on for me chewed the edges all up on his tire machine  .

I swear he could mess up a bologna sandwich.

The PTO side tire ( center rib only ) rubs the Idler pulley when turned to the right , but nothing a small modification won't take care of  .

The last pic is the rears all blasted & waiting for their second coat . 

Man , I can hardly wait 'till next Sat to try these out ( with the new throttle shaft too !  )
