Snagged Some ATV Tires

[Sawdust]

Got two 25/11/12 and two 25/10/12 6 ply 440 Mag Off-road tires for $60 off of Marketplace. They have real good tread left the owner swapped these out for some more aggressive mudders. I’m thinking my Simplicity 3415H and my Sears SS15 would be good candidates. The Sears may not have enough fender clearance. Spring project coming up.

With wheel spacers and/or offset rims the 10s might squeeze onto the Sears.

I can never find any 12" atv tires 9,10 but never 12s around here.

Same in this area, and 25x10.50-12. Don't have room on the Cub for those. Has 23" on it and it is to close for chains so 25" is out.

I used ATV 8.5" X 26" (I think) on the Wheel Horse and they have worked out real well. There a reason they use tall narrow tires on tractors for dirt work. For lawn work I would think your wider tires would be more lawn friendly.

No problem to get the 12” atv tires here. One ad on now for a set for sale. Brand new basically. Guy took them off just to put bigger one on. 25x10x12 x2 and 25x8x12 x2. Lance would be here in a flash to get these. Hehe.

25 x 10 x 12 is what I am looking for. Found some last evening but they were the mudder type.

LOL... depending on the price.... your probably right even tho I still have one spare pair right now.

They want $600 for the four of them. Is that a reasonable price Lance. I’m not interested in them, just wondering.

Those are my thoughts too Chris. My 7117H was a good grass cutter with much needed traction on slight hills and slopes with worn but good Ags with no damage. I think these will work good on the 3415H. After thinking about it I think my Bolens G11XL might be another candidate since I rebuilt that deck also.

I thought you said 25” were too big

YIKES..... no you can buy them new for about that... and those arent even radials I dont think. Even the really high end tires are only about $185 each around here

 

[Lance Skene]

ATV tires are NOT hard on the lawn unless you have a locked rear diff.... or do something stupid... I can drive 8000# tractors with AGs across the lawn and not make a mark unless the grass is wet... then an AG will spin or slide sideways on a slope quite easily... ATV tires will NOT do either such thing even when wet.

I did say that. I need 23 or 24". I stated it wrong. Has 23 x 10-.50 - 12 turf tires on it now. Will probably just load them up good and go. Can buy new atv tires for about $65 each. Kenda Front/Rear K299 Bear Claw 25x10-12 Tire - 082991292C1 | Dennis Kirk But they are 25" again.
