Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The factory turf saver tires that my new yard tractor came with were no match for the steep inclines in my backyard, the tires just spun in place and laughed at me as as tried multiple times to go up at different angles with no luck. I searched online to find a solution to this problem and saw a lot of people replacing their turf savers with AG tires. So off I went to my local TSC and they had 2 of them in stock, but they charged a hundred bucks each. That seemed high for such small tires, so I checked Amazon on my phone and found the same exact tire much cheaper, so I left the store and ordered them from the parking lot. They arrived quickly (prime 2 day) along with some new rims (I didn't want to scratch up the almost new factory wheels). After fighting with it for quite a while with different tools/methods, I managed to get the first tire on the rim using a pry bar and a couple of bar clamps. After getting the hang of it with the first one the second tire went on much easier. Since the tires are 2" wider than the factory 20x8x8 tires, the bead pretty much set itself. I also used STEELMAN G10106 Tire Rim Bead Sealer - 1 Quart before inflating and it worked quite well (good insurance against bead leakage, but it isn't required). The tires cleared the fenders and frame with room to spare; They do clear the mower deck on my machine, but only by about 1/8" so that might be an issue for some. After getting these puppies on I immediately tried them out on the hills and though I expected to still get some slippage they went right up the hills no problem, and I can actually brake while going down a hill (bonus!). There are a few spots of loose dirt where my dog likes to dig up and while trying to go up those areas the tires would spin and dig a deep hole in the dirt, but even those areas were still climbable with a little speed first. I have mowed the yard several times now (including when the grass was not fully dry) and these tires have worked great. They do leave tire tracks in some of the bare spots, but they were fine on the healthy lawn, no tearing or ripping up grass. All in all I am very happy with these tires, and the price was good. I would highly recommend them to anyone who has a hilly yard and is experiencing traction problems with their turf savers. Sorry for the long review, I hope this was helpful.
