Overview
Carlisle makes the Turf Master as a wide, flat turf tire for riding mowers and lawn tractors. The broad footprint spreads weight across grass, and the shallow tread grips without tearing turf.
Lawn owners get extra width for flotation on soft grass, which reduces ruts. The listing's load index and capacity look unusually high for a small turf tire, and no maximum pressure is given.
Who it's for
Homeowners mowing soft or wet lawns will appreciate the flotation. Tillers and plows need a bar lug tire.
Pros and cons
- Wide footprint limits ruts
- Shallow tread spares grass
- Six ply carcass
- Light and easy to mount
- Maximum pressure not listed
- Load figures look questionable
- Rim not included
Performance notes
Flotation comes from the wide section spreading weight over more grass. The shallow tread grips by surface contact rather than digging in, which protects turf but limits traction on slopes. Correct pressure matters, and you will need to read it off the sidewall.
