Re: (ET) rims for E-15



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!

Tires.....aaaagghhhh !

   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.

 

Comments appreciated....

Walt & Dan,

 

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:

  - tires

  - electric parts   relays, capacitors, etc...

  - lift strap

  - bearings   sizes, info

  - 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?
