Review on Carlisle Turf Trac R/S 18X8.50-8 Lawn & Garden Tire - Enhanced for SEO by Chad Siofele

Revainrating 1 out of 5

These tires and the company I bought them from are just a joke.

I bought these tires to replace one of my Dixie Chopper lawnmowers. When I received them I noticed that they are very light tires and that they have a seam that runs down the middle of the tread. Despite skepticism, I mounted the tires on tractor rims for $25 a tire. As I picked them up, I noticed that the tread of the tire is very rounded, so the contact of the tread with the ground is only about 3-4 inches, meaning there is no traction. The image in the ad is misleading and shows no seam in the center of the tread and a very flat tread pattern. The company I bought them from is called CWO (Custom Wheel Outlet). After my first email complaint to this company, the first response was to ask how many miles I've driven on the tires, even though the tires were mounted I didn't fit them on my lawnmower, but the response assumes that they are new, the tires have been fitted and possibly used (and I'm sorry but what incompetent fool would ask how many miles have been driven on a lawn mower tire as I don't know any lawn mower with an odometer). Now the time between ordering, receiving, installing and emailing CWO was just over 30 days and the last email I received was CWO informing me that they have a 30- 1 day return policy and that they will not give a refund in this case the tire was fitted I have to pass this on to this company, they really know how to kill time before their 30 day return policy expires and poor consumers with one piece crap product to glue. Conclusion: This tire is very easy to handle in the conditions of a larger lawnmower, it is definitely a bad design and I personally will never buy a CWO product again.

Pros
  • Made in China
Cons
  • Not bad but...
