Lawn Mower Tire Information
Common Sizes
Lawn mower tires use sizes like 15x6.00-6. This means: 15" overall diameter, 6.00" width, for a 6" rim. Front and rear tires often differ.
Tread Types
Turf Saver (gentle on grass), Ribbed (for steering), and Lug/Ag-Style (for traction).
Key Considerations:
- Tire Pressure: Typically low (8-20 PSI). Check the tire sidewall for max pressure.
- Ply Rating: Indicates toughness (e.g., 2-ply, 4-ply). Higher ply is more puncture-resistant.
- Tubeless vs. Tube-type: Many mower tires are tubeless, but older ones might use tubes.
