Our verdict

A deep lug tire for tillers, trenchers and garden tractors where traction in dirt matters most. It will tear up a finished lawn, and the listing says little about pressure.

Overview

Tiller, trencher and garden tractor owners get a small tire with deep, sharp angled bar lugs that dig into soil. The self cleaning pattern sheds dirt as it turns, and a wide footprint with a tough compound handles rough ground.

Traction in loose dirt and mud is the strength, thanks to deep angled bars and self cleaning spacing. Those same lugs mark turf, and maximum pressure is not listed.

Who it's for

Gardeners running tillers and trenchers in soft soil will use the bite. People mowing finished lawns should choose a turf tread.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Deep bar lugs for traction
  • Self cleaning design
  • Damage resistant compound
  • Light and easy to mount
Cons
  • Rim not included
  • Marks finished turf
  • Maximum pressure not listed

Performance notes

Grip in loose soil comes from deep angled bars that bite and then release dirt as they rotate. The wide footprint spreads load so the machine sinks less. A heavy compound resists cuts from roots and rocks.
