Great Price
The media could not be loaded. We choose the used option which was only 50.00. We are very pleased with this purchase the tire looks brand new..We are going to use it on our Craftsman riding mower..You don't have to put any air in it, very cool. All we had to do was take it out of the box and put it on the mower..The tire itself is very durable looks almost like plastic, can't wait to mow the yard.Very easy installation.. Didn't notice any stickiness upon installation.I think the hardest part was removing the old tire..Great buy😆

The best tire replacement option for the money!
Ordered a set to replace the front high maintenance air filled ones on my Craftsman garden tractor. If you live in an area where thorns or sharp sticks aren't a constant issue - you probably don't need these. They have some manageable faults you have to deal with like a rougher ride and the tires will slip/slide on hard packed ground, hills, or wet grass when turning. With that said - everything else is 100% positive. The tire weight is about the same as an air filled tire with Slime/Gorilla Snot or foam filling. These 2 wheels (tire & rim) were installed in about 15 minutes and fit perfectly on the Craftsman 3/4" spindle - had to remove the rubber dust cap over the inside bearing since the Sears tractor has a permanently mounted metal bearing protector already in place. I now laugh when I see Mesquite thorns stuck in these tires! Another benefit over foam filled is these do not appear to flat spot after sitting for a period of time. So far these are truly maintenance free - if you hate to plan to mow and then have to spend an additional 30 minutes plugging a flat tire and checking tire pressure - this is the answer!!

Its strong and works
Couldn't find a good replacement for my John Deere cart and this is better since it will never go flat and can handle 500 pounds of weight. No more fix a flat to keep original tires inflated.

Fantastic solution to thorns and sun-rotted side walls!
I mow two acres of field grass in Southern Arizona, infested with invasive mesquites that spread out low and sport huge thorns. For years I've been plagued with constant leaking tires and dry rotted side walls. These tires fit my Craftsman 42 in rider mower just like stock tires, and now I laugh at the mesquites. Cons: (1) they are more expensive than pneumatics, but not having to constantly extract thorns, add Goop, or add air is more than worth the extra cost. (2) They are a bit stiffer than pneumatics, which gives a bit rougher ride and makes turning in deep sand or gravel a bit harder. (3) They come with bushings, not bearings, which means the bushing is just rolling over the front axels, metal on metal. I put a lot of grease on the axels, and so far no problem, though I would prefer real bearings, or at least a zerk to inject more grease. As is, I have to jack up the front, pull the tires off and manually grease the axel rod. A five minute operation once or twice a season, so no big deal. (4) They don't sell rear tires (10x20); if they did, I'd buy them too. On balance, a huge improvement over pneumatics, and I'll never go back. Highly recommended! Four stars because they don't have bearings or grease zerks, but otherwise, fantastic. Full disclosure: the company sells add-on bearings --$12:50 or so each--if you really want bearings.

Great way to add a wide run flat tire to your dual wheel wheelbarrow
The media could not be loaded. Great way to add a wide run flat tire to your wheelbarrow. We needed to replace our wheelbarrow tires. So I wanted to upgrade with a wide tread. As you can see on the left side of the photo, while the original tires are marked as 4" wide, they have a curve so they punch through snow, soft ground. This tire is pretty flat across the entire surface.I did have to make a 2" wide space from plastic tubing - so these wider tires did not rub.Because of the width, you will probably have to use them on a dual wheel wheel barrow. They are too wide to fit our single wheel wheelbarrow.

Flat Spot
Wheel and tire setup seemed fine at first, after 30-60 days of use I started to notice tires would have flat spots from sitting for 2-3 days. I am outside of 30 day window for return so I am not stuck with tires I can not use. I do not recommend this product for riding mowers, might be fine for a very small yard trailer.

Works ok, but not like a pneumatic tire
First thing you will notice is that because of the substance these are filled with, the mower won't turn as sharply as it did with pneumatics, it will often slide and just go straight, second these are simply bushing wheels, no ball bearings. Also,no grease fittings. After they sit for a few hours, they develop a flat spot, but it goes away after a couple hundred feet. Got these as they were cheaper than new pneumatics, but we will see how they hold up.

Make sure of shaft size.
Very nice. My spouse bush hogs with everything. Don't have to go fix flats on her lawnmower trailer any more. I get them for wheelbarrows and other carts. That's just future problems eliminated. If you understand maintenance; you prevent the problem before it happens. IE: Change the oil, grease it, protect it, buy what doesn't require much service. Great tires. They will serve her well for many years and leave me more time to tend to more urgent projects. Don't just maintain your machinery; maintain your time. This is a product you won't regret.
