I've gone to 3 stores. All have good front tires for garden tractors, but none have the 23x10.5x12. I was hoping to get a set of those or 24x12x12

I bought a 23x9.5x12 turf tire at one store and called another to see if they had another. The lady checked and said no. I checked online and it said the store had 2! I ordered online at the same price and picked it up the next day. So check online to see if a certain store has what you're looking for before going.

That's easier said that done. The website doesn't reflect clearance prices. So if you don't have the SKU of the ones that are on clearance, then it's hard to know what to look up

I really wish there were some 26x12-12 tires involved in this deal… but I don’t think they even stock that size. At least not around here.

I’ve been looking for 23x8.50-12s, but no such luck.

Mine did. That's why i ordered it. I knew the size and style I wanted and put it in the cart to see if it showed the clearance price. It did. THAT's where you'll see the clearance price

No luck at the store near me. Those are some odd sizes that you're looking for. If that was my restoration, I'd probably go with more common sizes, but I do recognize that you like everything NOS original.
This sawtooth was on the shelf and likely the same one you found at your store. The stud tires were 4" and 5" sizes.

Bummer, that's too bad. What more common sizes do you recommend Mike,and can I get them in the style I want? I'm pretty 95% sure I can find the fronts in the style and size I'm lookin for online no problem, but the backs are gonna be a challenge. I may have to get the more common size tires if I can't find what i'm lookin' for, I do have at least 1 or 2 more sources I will probably try first though. Regarding the tire you found and posted the first picture of in this quoted post, yep that's the exact one I saw too and said why they had the style BUT not the size I was lookin' for. I'll keep lookin'

I went to two Tractor Supply stores. No 23 10.50 12 lug tires at all.
1st store I got one 16 6.50 8 rib tire for $14.99.
I also was looking for tires for my John Deere 60 lawn tractor project.
For the front I got two 13 5 6 rib tires for $9.99 each.
I also got one 20 10 8 super lug for the rear for $28.99.

At the second store I bought a second 16 6.50 8 rib tire for $8.99.
Also got the other 20 10 8 Super lug for
$17.39.
The second store was doing construction and wanted all clearance gone store wide so they gave an additional 40 percent off the clearance price.

I picked up some 23x10.5/12s for $22 a piece. And some 16x8 turfs for $10 a piece.

Last time I bought a discount tire it wouldn't hold air.

Not really a tire discounted due to age or anything like that. Just the company switching suppliers and need to get rid of the old stock. Not tires I would normally recommend but they will work. I work at a tire shop, have a TSC down the road. But I’m personally not storming down there to check for tires. I do have a tractor that can use some 15-6x6 turfs but the tubes are holding in the air for now

I don’t see how these tires are any worse than the Carlisle and Deestone tires I have a lot of experience with. I just mounted my newly acquired set on the 318. We’ll see how they do but everything seems good.

 

[LukeL]

Just did some searching this evening and it looks like the TSC about 45 minutes away has 2 more 23” rear ag’s and at least two more front 16 inchers listed as available. For $105 total, I placed an order with the curbside pickup option. If they’re actually available I should get an email tomorrow to pick them up.

Several other of the stores around me shoe having one 23” tire available. This is the only remaining one with two.

Update: the store let me know they don't have the rear tires in stock. Too bad.

I have to wait until payday.

I am surprised you didn't paint the rims with the tires removed? I will usually touch up the rusty spots, especially around the bead and get the inner section that the factory paint job missed. The ones I have painted seem to hold air much longer than those without extra paint.

I think you'll be happy with the ag tires. Let us know about the fronts work for steering. I'm going to use mine on the trailers.

Tire machine is only going to scuff that paint anyway.

I did paint the rims! They were a rusty mess before. The damage on them is from wrestling the tires on I’ve learned there’s bo way to mount tires without having to touch it up afterwards…. no amount of carefulness will fix that

I just got back from the Tractor Supply in Marshall Va. Looked on line and they showed they had the 15x6x6 hi-run tires in stock. Got out there and they were not on clearance. Talked to the manager, and he told me, only the ones tagged as clearance were on sale. They had 2 different ones, in that size. One was 49.99 and the other was 59.99. But at the register, neither comes up at at lesser price.

I noticed that also. The ribbed tires are clearance. The turf masters and turf savers are not, even though all three are Hi-Run brand.
