Those tires are sweet looking Steve
Holy smoke, the new tires look good, keep us posted as to how they treat your turf!
I need a friend in the small tire industry 😂 ...I have Turf savers on my Craftsman LTX1000 that are probably the original ones, none of the 4 hold air, the rears have cracks in the sidewall big enough to use as coin slots almost, Ive filled them with liquid electrical tape/rtv just to get by mowing. In this economy, the "regular" person can barely afford a set of 4 new tires on their car without getting a personal loan. Anyway, those tires look great, maybe I will eventually run across a used set I can find on market place or something.
I have been using these for two years and I think they actually prevent you from ripping up your lawn. Anytime you spin your tires (no matter what tire you are using) you rip up the lawn. Since these tires are less likely to spin, they actually prevent the lawn from getting ripped up. You can also use more control when going up steep inclines since you have more traction (you don’t need to go as fast as you can and hope you make it). I think that prevents excess abuse on your frame, although it may put a little more load on your transmission.
Right on
I don't have those, but did replace my turf savers with the Carlisle Super Lugs, since our property is very hilly and the turf savers were just awful, especially in anything but completely dry conditions. Couldn't be happier with the more aggressive treads!
Right on
I installed tractor tread on my 48” scag zero turn a few years ago . Yes it tears up the lawn a little but I don’t get stuck on uneven hillsides any longer. Those tires look like a nice compromise. Thanks as always Steve .
You're Welcome...
Definitely will look into these. Especially the rears. I have a few perpetually wet areas and the standard tires just sit and spin.
Go for it!
That’s nice. But personally, I think April would would really kill it if she had Goodyear Wranglers.
Driving an FJ Cruiser! ❤
A big huge shout out to Mr. Foster your the best 🍻. The tires look amazing
Right on
Thank you Green Knight! Happy Mowing!!! Cheers - Mr. Foster
@@jontfoster your welcome 🍻
*New Sub* sending a HUGE THANK YOU!!! Every summer it's always something with all things lawn care for me. And quite frankly I'm tired of visiting the used mower guy every year for another mower. Last year I found a Walmart deal on a mower with a B&S 300e for approx $100. And low and behold, a few uses in to this season, my husband cuts the grass, runs outta gas. Decides to check the oil which is low then proceeds to get gas & oil, to which he then overfills... Now, the oil looks black, sludgy and smells like fuel..But, Im hopeful that with your greatly detailed and informative videos I will not give in to the temptation of visiting the mower man. I've pulled out my tool box, gathered a few supplies from the store and I'm hoping to get my lawn cut..🙂
I put the turf traction tires on my Toro zero turn a year ago. I love them, got stuck one time when I slid into a shallow ditch. It will pull some grass if you take off too fast or make a sharp turn when the ground is wet. Overall great tires.
We have a couple of 28 degree slopes, so a couple of years ago, I used an oscillating tool to cut out every 2nd lug on my rear tires, made a HUGE difference. But they are getting older, those turf traction tires look great.
Those rear tyres mytick of approval ✔️✔️✔️✔️, on the phone right now. THANKS Steve 👍. From Melbourne AUSTRALIA 👍🤠
You're Welcome...
Looks like the new tires are worth more than the mower!!!!! They do look good. When I need new tires, I will get a set of those rears. Thanks Steve.
Turf savers are only good for flat dry lawns. Good video! Learned this myself the hard way.
Thank You...
I liked this video 172% 😉, though those tyres would be good for pulling a heavy trailer.
M.Sweeney A very likeable 172% when calculated using aFOSTER'S Lager slide rule👍
Not a cheap shot: where are you? I live in San Antonio and we don’t use or see the term “tyres” around here. Is that a Canadian thing? Thanks! 👍
Steve, AWESOME video!!!! Love April mowing!!! I could use those as I have side hills I mow on and my Turf Savers slide…. I think these would be the ticket!!!
Agreed!
Looks like they'd be good in snow. I have turf savers on my JD145 and need chains to plow my driveway.
Me too!
Steve. I an so glad I found your channel. I have learned so much from you that I have applied to my equipment.
Thank You...
Thanks Steve and April i like those tires,my lawn has some slopes and like the idea of better traction if wet mine is always spinning. 🙂
You're Welcome...
I just put those Marastar Multi-Trac tires on front of my D140 and they work very well. Had them only a week...that and putting the thrust bearing "upgrade" on the steering arm makes tooling around MUCH easier!
Right on
Uhg,I need to do the thrust bearing thing. One of those "one day" mods...
Thank you!!
Thanks Steve and April. Great looking tires.
You're Welcome...
Thanks for the video Steve, awesome just awesome.April looks good on your tractor ❤❤. Take care of yourself and family and be Blessed ❤️❤️👍.
You're Welcome...
Thanks for the vid on Marastar tires. I just put them on my JD lawn tractor. Huge improvement on the hill in my yard, and better traction using the small bucket attachment I set up on the front of the JD. By the way, Marastar is part of a corporation that also owns Carlyle Tires!
Now those look like great tires Steve! Enjoy the ride.... 👍👍
Thank You...
The turf traction tires are awesome! The V tread center provides excellent traction, and the knobbie tread sides keep it from sliding sideways on hills. Seriously good tires.
Totally agree!
Well! My LA115 is getting a bit long in the tooth and could use some new rubber. THANK you for this super timely video!!
You're Welcome...
So cool! My John Deere is now used at my " up north" Michigan home instead of the suburban one and I really do need better traction. Hadn't even considered this option until this video.
Go for it!
@@StevesSmallEngineSaloon Not nearly as expensive as I thought - on rims. In my Amazon bucket so I won't forget and I'll verify tractor model before ordering. Thank you, Steve.
Just what i need. I have front deck, front drive Stiga. Its coming winter here and my tyers are 20 years old now.
Go for it!
So now I'm debating between a set of these and some ag tires. I have a big lawn with some hills. I've got both on my wish list, and time to make the decision.
I worked for Carlisle power drive belts division for 12 years before they were bought by Timken bearings. The Carlisle products coming out of the Springfield plant were far superior than the new Timken belts.
Always a good video Steve, thank you and always good to see April as well
Thank You...
Steve, wow they look like really nice tires. The fronts are comparable to the Carlisle in prices but the rears might be higher than what I have paid for them through Wal-Mart. I will say they look a great deal beefier than the Carlisle OEM units. I will definitely consider them next time I replace anything. Great video and glad you shared the info. I know you don’t do sponsored reviews but have valued the things sent to you for your unbiased opinion. I loved the Walbro carburetor rebuild with the spiral spring. Way better than what came originally. You are my go to guy for repairs and beer selection 🤪
I replaced the Turf Savers on the front of my XT1 with Multi Tracs, and they had WAY better traction in the winter when snowblowing. Those Turf Tractions would look amazing on my SuperChief 1450, or maybe it just makes sense to put em on my Turf-Trac 11/38! Cheers!
❤those tires 💯💯% because I have 28%tree branches on my lawn too!
Right on
Have these. Awesome on my little Cub. Note the total diameter is larger than my stock tire, same size ratio
I have a scag48” zero turn and went with a tractor tread a few years ago . Yes it tears up the yard a little but I don’t get stuck on hill sides any longer . Those tires look like a great compromise. Easier on the yard but not get stuck . Thanks as always.
Right on
a Scab eh? LOL. I know what you mean just poking the bear a little!
@@tbone21158 spellcheck one of googles lesser liked ideas
I have these same exact tires on my tractor and very happy with them, very good traction compared to the stock tires that came with it. My lost is quite hilly and no more slipping on them.
Awesome! Thank You...
Outstanding! Thank you for purchasing these! Best, Jon Foster
I'm checking them out right now. Had to come back to leave you a comments. Great vid. 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank You...
That is some great fresh looking grass you got there Steve. Mine at the moment looks dry and thirsty very crispy. Your grass looks very healthy great watch this.😊 and that cut on the mower is beautiful! 👌🏻
Oh and the tyres look incredible! ❤
Finally a turf tire with some oomph! Traditional turf tires slick over way too quick. Just don't let the lawn service know about these, they tear up the cemetery bad enough with turf tires. Kudos to the tire guy!
Great stuff thanks again!!!
Those are some nice looking tires!! Nice looking driver, too! Thanks for the video, Steve!
Thank You...and You're Welcome...
Thank Steve ,April look having fun ❤
You're Welcome...
They look great ! Heinz’s 57 is what my lawns made up of . I don’t care as long as it’s green😂
Agreed!
Nice one Steve
You'd never tire of looking at the driver
Agreed!
I worked at John Deere dealer. The local farmers would put aggressive tread tires on their mowers but put the them wrong way around. They said it would pile dirt under the tire and not dig out. We did have some pranksters but he was one of them. Maybe you could test that and see of it’s better to put directional tires on a lawnmower the wrong way around? Ether way they look amazing!Thanks for sharing and thank you Mr foster.
Nice Tires Steve,, will be especially good on snow if you took a trailer behind the mower.😊
Right on
I bought a full set of Carlisle for the Troy-Bilt 46" rider I'm repairing rust on (whenever I get back to it). Had I not done that, I would go with with these. I may see about returning the Carlisle set and getting these anyway. My yard is about like yours and I have a rain ditch that runs along the street. It's maybe 1.5-2 feet deep and 4-5 feet wide and I can get in and out of it OK, but these tires wouldn't break a sweat. I also have some other areas that these tires would help on. Tell Mr. John Foster that I'll be getting 4 sooner or later, and I'm sure both of you will get a lot of sales from this video. Thanks, Steve. I bet those rear tires would pop a wheelie. Not that I'd do it on purpose because my neck would not like that. Just sayin'. And I wouldn't abuse my rig like that anyway, but there are guys who do. The Carlisle on my Craftsman 46" don't hold a sharp turn and skid, but they'll do until I get the Troy-Bilt back in service. I like the Hydrostatic much better, so I'll prolly sell the Craftsman when I'm done.
However, I don't see rim color options on your Amazon links. You can buy rear tires only (no rim in 1 each) and save $85.91, but I don't see that option on the front tires. Did I miss it?
Thanks again, Steve, Lucky you!
April looks like she is having a ball! Steve is she going to let you on the new toy? Is the next video going to be Steve and April do dune riding? Neat looking tires.
Just put a set of Kenda Tires on a Wheel Horse this morning. He didn’t want to spend the extra $$ for Carlisle. Carlisle are the standard but lately the price of rubber has gone through the roof!
Agreed!
Nice gift, Steve. Looks like April approves too. Cheers.
Agreed!
That’s awesome Steve 👍😁
Agreed!
Those look perfect for me. I mow about 3.5 acres of my front lawn which is a hill and I constantly lose traction going up that hill.
AND I just ordered two.
Right on Paul!
Cool man I'm gonna order a set for my craftsman rider. Cheers man. 🍻
Go for it!
Do you have any weed eater vids about got spark gas good compression still no start new carb ty for viedos you inspired me to go to college for small engines
Nice looking tire. I have bar tires on the old Yard Man and Ag tires on the Z-Turn. The bar tires work good. The Ag tires work good but on soft ground they dig in a bit but it is harder it get it stuck. 😁 James out.
Right on
I've got tractor tyres on mine, to mow 3 sloping acres in any weather. Massive traction. Cheap as dirt and they don't rip up your grass or leave ruts. Nature heals, faster than you'd think.
Awesome! Changing out those tire assemblies will be faster than a NASCAR Pit Stop! My John Deere Lawn Tractor is about to give those guys a run for their money! I may not get the "Checkered Flag," but I'll have a freshly mowed lawn, in Record Time!
Right on
Good video I am trying to fit the right size tire on my mower. The ones I got last week rubbed on the deck I will try MARASTAR tire 20x8.00-8
Go for it!
Very nice looking tires. Going to see what trey have…
Agreed!
Just found this channel. I had to subscribe right away. It’s like I have a Canadian uncle now
Thank You...
Those tires look sweet, may have to look into these Steve O! April is a natural on that tractor 😂. Great video. Cheers 🍻 and Steve out 😆
Thank You...
Too cool of them!!
Agreed!
👍👍👍Thanks Steve.
You're Welcome...
I installed a pair of those rear tires on my rider last year and they work great. I have a ditch in front of my house that I've always gotten stuck in whenever I got too close to the wet spot. Then I would have to weed-eat the wet spot. Now I just mow right through it. Also, there is a hill I couldn't climb if the grass was wet, the tires would just spin and tear up a spot in the grass. Now, with the new tires I can drive straight up without any spinning or damage to the grass, wet or dry.
Awesome!
Awesome - thank you!! Best, Jon Foster
What a nice way to start the day... FREE TIRES AND RIMS!! Can't beat that with a stick!! LOL! The front tires look very similar or the same as the standard tread you used to find on the older J.D.'s. The back tires look like they would be a real beast in all kinds of terrain! Let us know later on how you like them.
Will do!
Nice set of tires
Agreed!
i need these for my JD L120
can't find these same ones anywhere , i need 22x9.5- 12
thanks steve!
Those are nice looking tires!
Agreed!
The fronts are on my larger tractor and a larger version of your fronts are also the rear tires, the regular turf saver on my smaller. Tires with the tubes are well over $300 on both tractors but I needed new tires.
“Just trust me, it’s a 100%.” My mathematics professor would have loved you. Love your vids!
These are on my to buy list now. I was mowin a customers grass yesterday and got stuck on the backside of a knoll overlookin a 100ft dropoff. It was about 12degree incline and i was scared to try and push the mower. If it got away from me itd destroy my mower and probably of hit the other guys house. After about half an hour i finally got it rolled around in a half circle enough that i could traction to back away from the edge. Yeah,i need better tires,and better judgement
That is pretty awesome and kind of him. I have two riding mowers One is red it's an eight horsepower wheel horse 1968 I believe and it's actually garden tractor. And then I have a 10 horse international and that's also a garden tractor but the International has ag tires on it
3:50 I hear Steve is starting a second channel, to teach math skills.... 😱
these look perfect for me .. unfortunately I can't find any in the size I need for my Husqvarna ts 354xd garden tractor which are 23 x 10.5 I have steep hills and uneven ground and even with the differential lock I still spin the tires going up hill at times ... especially when the "grass" is wet... would buy a set in a heartbeat if available
Perfect! I need new tires on my BadBoy Lightning Z. Only 1 out of the 4 hold air. Thankee
Right on
I put atv tires on my zero turn. Check out dirt commanders. Too aggressive really but I put them on my john deere m665. I've never gotten stuck
Very cool, Steve!
Ru sure your not from Brooklyn? Hey youse guys, these ones '
I enjoy your videos, do have one on mounting small lawn tires? ( I have 15x6.00 6 on a MTD 42" cut what a pain, the narrow part of the rim is in the middle, not off to the side like normal rims. )
In my playlist
Psh... You want good traction with the regular old turf savers? Get yourself a paint brush and a few liters of maple syrup. Cover the tread on your lawnmower tires with a generous coat and repeat every time you cut your grass. After a few weeks you'll get a tacky, tarry, sticky clay like mud covering your tires that grips any terrain and stays bonded to the tire. Works for me but what do I know? I'm just a dope smoking Canadian with the nicest lawn in Sunnyvale.
Steve! Ive an L118? Mower, very similar to yours. My hydrostatic whines like crazy upon takeoff. Any suggestions on what to swap the oil with? Theyre not supposed to be serviceable but i believe it can be done. Thanks for the video as always
I'm going to order a set of tires like that next week for my riding mower
Right on
Totally off topic here , but if the string on a new starter recoils when off my push lawn mower BUT doesn't when I put it back on what could be the issue. Thanks for any input.
Those tires would be perfect for the Deep South. We have hard clay and sometimes my rider slips pretty badly trying to get out of the ditch I just mowed. I think these would give me better traction and security getting out of that ditch.
Right on
55k views in 2 months! Good job
Nice!
thank you for this video
You're Welcome...
Nice seat cover!
LOL! Agreed!
Damn Steve, you must be living right how nice.
Thank You...
How do those tires handle flats from puncture vine (goat head stickers)
I like the rear tires
Agreed!
awesome!
Thank You...
Those rear tire should help my zero turn. It loses traction when trying to mow sideways on a hill. I have seen other zero turns mow hills sideways with no issues, mine wont.
Right on
Nice tires.
Agreed!
Steve how do you straighten up the front end of my John Deere riding mower L111 42' deck
I have a question for ya Steve. I have a Stihl FS76 that I rebuilt the carburetor and replaced the fuel filter and lines, it runs great now after tuning it but the primer bulb acts weird, it will only partially fill after pumping nearly 10 times. I see no air coming up through the inlet. My guess is maybe the diaphragm is not pushing down enough on the rocker to open the needle and let fuel in. Again it runs great but can take a bit longer than it should to start after sitting for a long time. Any thoughts on this would be a big help.
hey steve quick question, my Husqvarna riding mower (looks like an orange copy of your John Deer) engin rattles on the frame quite a bit, is it supposed to have a good bit of movement from the frame or do I need to tighten some nuts or bolts underneath the engin?
nice tires steve
Agreed!
My parents have had three different john deere riding mowers since '96 and they have never kept the standard tires. We have so much varied terrain, and turf on our acreage it is unfeasible, , impractical, and unsafe to do so. Im still using the 96 jd 275 as a workhorse and it has the original tractor style traction tires on the back that were put on in 96. I encourage anyone to get rid of the turf saver tires because for most owners they are useless. Especially on the bigger lawn tractors. Ive been helping an older gentleman do brush work withe his craftsman 130 mower and it scares me every time i use it because his place is all steep slopes, uneven terrain, and various turf. It has turf savers blown up rock hard and the thing won't gip, will slide, spin out, etc.. it is real fun going down slope with a trailer load of limbs and having it push the tractor ahead of it and try to tip you over. It is even more so when you hit the wet moss and grass. Change the tires folks, you shorts will thank you when they don't get soiled from that unscheduled trip you might take down a slippery slope. Extra gripage is a good thing!
Love the hybrid tread on the back set of tires. It looks like a cross between the ones on my parents 96 and the quad style they have on their newest machine.
Cool looking tires on your John Deere😅😊
Agreed!
Well dang. The beginning made think it would be entertaining to see you hold back the cussing while mounting them on the rim. Was a little disappointed that it was already on the rim. I've seen that you can buy tires already on the rim.. I'm not very inclined to pay extra for rims when I already own a set, they just happen to have my old tires on them.. it's a hassle to mount yourself, but saves the $.
