rjgoth Posted October 25, 2003 Posted October 25, 2003 Hello all, I am looking for some aftermarket or factory replacement tires for my 66 Landlord that I am restoring. The size on them is 23 8.50 12. Does anybody know where I can get some that are as close to stock looking as I can get? Thank you, Ryan
Chris727 Posted October 25, 2003 Posted October 25, 2003 I think some of the new zero turns have a simmilar style of tread but don't know who makes the tires of what sizes are available. Carslile turf savers are readily available but don't match the old goodyears. Good luck.
Kent Posted October 25, 2003 Posted October 25, 2003 I have Turf Savers on the HB-216 and DO NOT recommend them. They clog up easily, even with damp grass clippings, and spin very readily... I'd look for something with a little more open tread pattern.
rjgoth Posted October 26, 2003 Author Posted October 26, 2003 Thanks Chris and Kent, Does anybody else have any other tires they are using, or any recommentations? Thanks Ryan
rjgoth Posted October 26, 2003 Author Posted October 26, 2003 Just a follow up note. DaleC just let me know about a website that deals in tires for garden tractors. http://shop.cedarrapidstire.com/ It was here that I found a very close match to the original GoodYear tire that came on most early model 1960-.." model Simplicity Landlord and AC B-10 series tractors. On the site look for this tire -- CARLISLE TURF KING it is available in both 23 8.50 - 12 and 23 10.5 - 12 sizes. Thanks again Dale! Ryan
FrankP Posted October 27, 2003 Posted October 27, 2003 Ryan, I have also been looking for Original tires. I was just looking for that Original restored factory look. I Ended up getting a set of a older tractor on Ebay. The tires had to have inner tubes put in them to hold air. After all that work, I am now of the opinion that the best thing to do is go with the Ag Tires. Namely for all the reasons that the others are stating. If you are still looking for Original Tires I will sell you mine. Thanks Frank
rjgoth Posted October 27, 2003 Author Posted October 27, 2003 Thank you for all the feedback. It looks like im getting a set of Ag tires also. You have all convinced me of that. Thanks :) Ryan
Kent Posted October 27, 2003 Posted October 27, 2003 Ryan, Here's the cheapest place I've found the ags via "mail-order." Tucker Tire's eBay store... http://stores.ebay.com/tuckertirecompany/plistings/list/all/dept3/index.html?col=2&dir=-1
rjgoth Posted October 27, 2003 Author Posted October 27, 2003 Thanks Kent, I found just the size that I needed. :)
