Tires for #31-12KE01 312-H

[heysavoy 16]

I have a 1990 wheel horse classic model # 31-12KE01 and need to replace all 4 tires. The sizes are 15x6 8 NHS on front and 23x9.5 12 NHS Rear. I'm wondering if anyone has any specific tire they have purchased and found to be reliable? I have an acre yard with a few hills but nothing severe. I've looked at Carlisle, Marastar to name a few. Also do most folks keep the same rims and take them all in at one time to a local tire garage to have them mounted or just buy new ones with rims? Is having the correct size shown above all I need in order to make sure its an exact fit for my tractor?

I suspect most of us reuse the same rims. If you want, you can have the old tires removed, sand and paint the rims, then have new tires installed. Just an FYI many of the foreign made tires run smaller than listed size. While the Deestone brand are good tires, they seem to run the smallest. The US Carlisle tires are closest to size, they are now foreign made. 
 

Tread pattern is really user preference depending what your using it for. 
 with the new shoes.

If you can dig deep enough most suppliers have charts that list their actual inflated sizes like these.
