Carlisle Turf Saver Lawn & Garden Tire - 20X8-8

I almost came unhinged when I got the tires and they were branded Carlstar. I was still impressed with the quality. Did some checking and found out that Carlisle is now Carlstar. No big deal, still an excellent tire.They were compressed for shipping and that was a pain but not a deal breaker. Once you get the tire mounted it takes a little finagling to get the bead to seat. I remove the core from the valve stem so my compressor can fill the tire very quickly and that helps to seat the bead fairly easily, then I overinflated to firmly seat the bead, let most of the air out and replace the valve stem core and inflate to the correct pressure.Overall, very good quality tire and not too difficult to mount if you have some experience with that. If not, take them to a tire shop and have them mounted for you.

tire was a perfect fit

Product arrived in good shape ,they were a little flattened ,but workable.Expand the casing outward and block them open with wood blocks (5 inch rims use 6 inch blocks)let sit for an hour and mount them ,they will expand to the rim without a lot of problems .Looks like good quality Tyre Carlisle normally is good quality product .

The tire arrived quickly, appeared durable and worked well for my application.

Shipped whole via UPS, not compressed or misshapen as some have reported. Mounted promptly, inflated to 14 lbs, these 2 rear tires have not lost any air after 2 cuttings over some rough ground with my Toro zero turn mower. Nice grip on sloping and wet ground. Definitely a good experience and recommended!

Tire is of good quality and arrived early. I would buy again.

The tires are great and exactly what I ordered but I was physically unable to get them onto the rims. I’ve changed tires before and own the cheap harbor freight small tire changer system but these were just too small and there was no stretch. I had to take them to a local tire guy and he had to use his machine to get them mounted. Again, great tires.

The perfect size, price, and shipping. Fast delivery, description was right on and the price was great too.

The mower still has the original tyres from over 20 years ago and with half an acre to mow for 10 of those years, they’ve given good service, so when one of the rear tyres got a slow puncture I ordered the exact same tyre as a replacement. It arrived squashed into a curious triangular shape but, no worries, it would pump up to the correct shape. Except getting the bead to seal takes luck and perseverance… Remove the wheel to change the tyre (I removed the old one without taking the wheel off - bad move) and once you’ve got the new tyre on, soap the sealing surface liberally. While pumping air into the tyre, centre the wheel evenly so the bead is equidistant from the rim all round. Spin the wheel inside the tyre if necessary to make sure you have the same amount of rim showing everywhere. Taking care to maintain that equal amount of visible rim, turn the wheel so one of the triangle points is at the bottom and push down on the top of the tyre. Rotate the wheel to the next triangle point and do the same. Keep turning the wheel to each point and pushing down and the bead will eventually ride up the rim and seal. The tyre will then inflate.Actually - forget all that. Save yourself a pile of trouble and take the wheel and new tyre to a professional and get them to change it.PS. Don’t forget to replace the valve when you replace the tyre.

Replaced front tire on Troy Bilt neighborhood rider.

this is the second 11x4 I have purchased from you although the same manufacture it has a wider profile. I shall replace the other existing when the hawthorn cuttings has made the unrepairable. Good value tyres

This tire is a prefect mate to my (still good) original tire.I hope that the rubber lasts longer than the original; the machine is stored inside, away from UV light but one of the original tires developed a severe crack. So far the new tire has lasted a season (as I would hope) and I look forward to many more.
