I used Carlisle Turf Saver tires – Carlisle can tell you the nearest dealer…

I got mine at the local Discount Tire,
they mounted them for free!

I decided to start looking for
tires and here's some comments:
ATV type (Surplus Center
below) -- while "cheap $", they are only load rated for
385lbs. An E15/E20 may approach 1,100 lbs with rider so these may not handle
the weight of the tractor and load/trailer/implement.
Ebay's Tucker Tire seems to be very
reasonable......28 pages to look thru but found a set of 4 for around $150.
(not sure of front tire size as I'm
at work and don't know it)
The AG lug tires appear to be high
load rated. Original Carlisle/GE tires were 2 ply (I think) and rated
1,135lbs each. Lug tires provide best traction as long as the
"V" is like a V when standing at the rear to push mud away from the
tire - not towards the center.
Someone else replied they got tires from:
but thought they were a little more
$ than Tucker's but they did provide more information with each tire.

I'm not sure if the attached link is what you were thinking
of, but..... I think the "thread" you mentioned might have been
a site that Marcus Lorch had going, but now I've lost it too.
In any case, if anybody is looking for some big ass AG
tires (26 x 10.00-12) already mounted on wheels that should bolt right on (at
least they have the right bolt pattern and pilot hole size, but I'm not sure
about the backset), then try this link:
Since the ad doesn't say otherwise, I'd have to assume that
they are all mounted the same direction. That would mean that you'd have
to demount one of them and turn the tire around on that wheel. Since they
are listed as 25/26" in diameter instead of our OEM 23", there might
also be a bit of a "clearance" issue under the fender.
But at $40 apiece, it might be worth looking into. And
the yellow color might be close to GE yellow.

There was a thread a while ago on
tires but can't find it. Someone listed AG tires and rims. If
somebody can find it, please re-send to the group.
The website should have a section devoted
to things like this:
- electric parts relays,
capacitors, etc...
- motor info (I'm
working on getting GE's info together)
Don Barry - what you think?

Changing my back tires to Ag lugs.
23X10.5x12's My question is where can I find two rims? Width
of the rims? Do other garden tractor rims or wheels fit?
