Cheap mower tires? Login/Join

Any suggestions on where to buy some cheap lawn mower tires that get decent traction mowing a ditchline? I'd rather not pay $50 per tire to use on a 25 year old JD mower.

Back tires are 20x10x8. I could go a little narrower if need be.


Fronts are 15x6x6

The ones on it are getting pretty slick, dry rotted and leaking down.

Harbor Freight has a selection of tires that might work, depending.




Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

This is where I buy mine and their service is as good as it gets. FAST delivery. OTR tires are standard equip on both my Bob-Cat and Hustler mowers.

Quick search shows Walmart has some for $35. LINK

$50 doesn't seem out of line though.

Search the evil Craigslist for a free tractor.

$50 ? Mine was $85 for one front on a Simplicity garden tractor. It's a good tire but not that good!

Any Farm and Garden store will carry a pretty decent selection.

I mow professionally. A couple years ago was a bit rough so I cheaped out and saved about $20 per mower tire. Huge mistake. The tread looked similar but couldn't seem to grip. I got stuck so many times in soft lawns. That cost me so much time. I guess it was a blessing that they wore completely slick in one year. I replaced them with Carlisle tires. Immediate improvement. I'll never go cheap on tires again.

Check Tractor Supply Co. they run sales all the time. They carry a decent tire for the money. You can buy online and pick up at store, you save a little more. Chris

I sell several brands of mower tires, Carlisle are #1. We are dealers for Wanda, Deestone and OTR, all sell well, just depends on the application.
