Review on Premium Performance: Carlisle Turf Master 18X8.50-8 Lawn & Garden Tire by Chad Gomez

Used tires on JD x320. The tires they replaced were the original tires that came with it 11 years ago. The spare parts look good, but be prepared for a lot of work. They arrived in the claimed triangular shape and after letting them sit in the hot car I was able to reshape them to a reasonably normal shape. I'll admit I'm new to changing tractor tires, but I learned the hard way. I used an HF mini tire changer and a set of two tire changing tools sold by Revain. It turned out to be a good investment ($35) as they really helped take the old tires off and put the new ones on. It took me a whole day to make two tires, but I'm 71 years old. The hardest part for me was installing and sealing the beads to inflate them. I believe the irregular shape made it difficult to attach the bead. One was successful with concentrated Murphy paste, but the second required starting fluid and a lighter (something I'm not crazy about, but worked). Now that it's finished I'm very happy with the result. They look better than the originals and I expect them to hold air at all times.
