Jacob S 67 #51 Posted November 26, 2021 I’ve been in 5 or so inch mud and had ag tires on my WH and I got through it with ease and we had a quad with knobby quad tires and it could not get through it. I think ags do better in mud but it’s up to you 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think ags do better in mud but it’s up to you I agree 100% here. ATV tires grab well at higher speeds... tearing/shredding. This is their design. Whereas AG lugs have a much higher, longer, and wider tread contact with the ground. Don 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maxwell-8 4,277 #55 Posted November 27, 2021 I found these realtivly cheap. The lugs seems to be relatively small and wide apart. Don't now if that is a good thing DuroHF-255 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maxwell-8 4,277 #58 Posted November 27, 2021 Darned, those USA made ITP's are even cheaper then Chinese made AG's.... I was turning towards the AG's but now... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As far as actual traction on a garden tractor I believe you'd find either tire acceptable. Your decision could just as easily be based on cost and/or aesthetics. Buy what YOU like the look of. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maxwell-8 4,277 #60 Posted November 27, 2021 I will for sure be going AG in the front. tri ribs are hard to find, and these carlisle are cheap https://www.carlislebrandtires.com/our-products/product-detail/super-lug/ A shame they don't have them for 12" rims Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 67,671 #61 Posted November 27, 2021 You may want to contact Carlisle directly. I see a listing for an Oregon brand tire on amazon that claims to be a 26 x 12 x 12 Carlisle super lug. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebinmaine 67,671 #63 Posted November 27, 2021 That's the company's way if saying the tires are for garden tractor and off road use only. If you were a little more than 9 mph I wouldn't be concerned. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacob S 67 #64 Posted November 27, 2021 You could always put chains on the ags if you want even more traction 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,917 #65 Posted November 27, 2021 Maybe I should rewind the tape and start in the beginning again, but just a reminder. Skinny generally works best for mud. 26x12 is not skinny. I haven’t checked for size availability, but my Interco Interforce tires sure do have an aggressive bite. Well, until you bottom out the transmission! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only reason they say that is... they don't want dummies using these tires for vehicles... BUT, as you know, @Maxwell-8... @Pullstart... and @ebinmaine... I spin my AG lugs too... 30+ MPH... without issue... Don Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snoopy11 5,714 #67 Posted November 27, 2021 3 hours ago, Maxwell-8 said: 9mph I think... what is confusing is the ratings on ATV tires... which say that they are rated for higher speeds. Now, I am not minimizing the fact that a 6 ply tire is stronger than a 4 ply tire at high speeds... BUT... these speed ratings are a little... unnecessary... and are there for liability purposes...
