My front tire on the 20-G is leaking air through the sidewall, so I'm looking for some new shoes. Who sells this size tire at a decent price and what is a good brand? Also, is there a good, cheap tire in this size?

There are no good cheap tires. They do not exist. Learned that lesson the hard way.

Carlisle is what I have settled on.

MultiTrac C/S or Turf Master is what I specify with the Multitrac C/S being preferred.

Here is a TurfMaster

Turf Master - 4 ply $43.30



Personally I wont have a turf saver. No traction - especially in snow.

Miller is a bit high. Turfmaster 16x7.5-8 are $55.45

I just got 16x6.5-8s from tires-easy.com (Richard's link) for my 8163 - cheapest that I found for Carlisles. Everyone else was at least $5-10 more expensive. I think I paid ~$62, shipped, for those.

More importantly, how the heck do you get the front wheel off?

 

[Richard-tx]

Take the bearing cap off and remove the nut underneath. Then the whole thing slides off.

Just about the time the tires need to replaced, the front wheel bearings need to be repacked or replaced.

I figured that and thanks for the heads up. I have a similar problem to arcam8123.
