Review on 🌱 Carlisle Turf Saver 18X8.50-8 Tire: Optimal Solution for Lawn & Garden by Matthew Guiney

Once fitted the tires worked great but were very difficult to fit. They shrink during transport, which is normal for such tires. Don't expect them to be easy to change yourself. If someone else puts them on, or if you wear them all the time, I'm sure you'll be fine, but it won't be easy for the average homeowner. I tried hot water after reading it could cause them to open. It didn't work for me. Then I heard that removing the valve stems might help let more air in faster to install the bead, but my hose didn't work at all with the stems out. I tried a cable belt to reduce the amount of air in the tire and push it better to the rim. This seemed to reduce the clearance between the tire and rim, but it wasn't enough. Eventually I resorted to using starter liquid to set the beads in place, which worked great but probably wasn't the safest approach. I probably spent 3-5 hours removing and reinstalling two tires on their rims.
