If they are not any better than the HF tires and tubes they are not worth a nickle in my book.
Every thing I have with HF tires on it has slime in it to keep air in them. From bicycle tires on the torch cart to the two on the tiller.

When it warms up enough to keep my fingers warm will get the new carb on the trim mower. Probably around mid morning.

While slime does the trick it also eventually ruins the rims if tubeless . Found out the hard way a few times..

It also makes a big mess if you do eventually have to take the tire off…

Didn't know HF had much for tires, seen a few casters and 8-10" or so solid tires... But I might walk into a HF twice a year, look around and walk out empty handed.

Never seen where slime ruin any rims but haven't taken any apart with slime in them.

Usually cheaper to replace the whole wheel than to try to fix a leak in one of their tires. Even their tubes seem to leak all over the place.
I think most of the time their smaller wheels leak is due to the 2 piece rims. I think they hire kids to poke pin holes in their tube just before they put them in a tire.

WOW, we ordered the 3 belts off V-Belt Supply on Monday night, 7pm. They arrived this afternoon ! On the order, it said 5-7 business days.


There is another website for Lawn Tractor Wheels.
Two new wheels on rims with tubes for $59 shipped.
We'll see how long it takes for the arrival.

One wheel like this on Amazon was $60, a pair for $115.

After much comparison, the model is a 608 with the G-deck. No idea he year. Possibly early 2000s.

@MFDAC the lady neighbors V-twin in the Murray is the same in this Yard Machines.

I have received next day, even on Sunday delivery from Amazon if the item is in the warehouse. Most comes through one of the many centers around the KC metro area.
