Review on Carlisle Smooth Lawn & Garden Tire - 13X5-6: Enhance Your Outdoor Experience! by Michael Barry

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Do not buy - not the same as in the photo, already and with a different marking.

Tires not as pictured or like my zero turn mower. I bought 2 of these tires as they were listed as the same OEM tires that are on my Bobcat mower. They are marked Carlisle and the tire sizes are correct, but the tires are narrower than my previous tires and those in the photo. The tires also look different: the lettering on the tires is different and both have raised rubber rib lines (partial tread?) on only part of the tire - very unusual as they shouldn't have any tread at all. Partial profile/lines only on part of the tire width? I suspect these tires are fake. I removed my old tires and put them on original rims with new studs at a local tire shop. One of the tires loses air every day. I'm not sure if it's a tire, new valve stems or something else. If I hadn't paid for the tires to be fitted I would have returned them as soon as I saw them inflated because then I noticed they were narrower. I've cut grass with it three times now and each time I have to inflate a tire. They also leave more marks on the lawn since they are narrower.

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Upgrades available
