whats a good r4 tire

[dogbone53]

Ok let the honey wagon stuff fly, What is the best tires for my bx24D, I plan to stay with a r4 tire. What companies make a good tire that will not dry rot and leak. I now see from all the reading here that I will install tubes in my front tires, but I am biting the bullet for 4 new tires and would like to know what you are using and what kind of luck your having. Any and all comments will help make my mind up as the grass is growing while my tractor is down with flat tires, dry rotted side walls. Garden master lasted 8 years now looking at carlisle wt 300. Ok let the shiiiiittt fly where ever it takes us.

Yes!This is something I was going to bring up as I have had it with my Garden masters.
They lasted a year and then started leaking around the rim.Dealer wanted to put in tubes.
I tried Napa rim sealant and no go.
So I let the dealer put in tubes as it is under warrenty.

WELL I have taken in one three times and the other twice for blown tubes!
Every time I take the tractor out I have to watch the tires.
I now have two spare tires!

My warranty will run out mid September.
They do not know if they will cover them after that!

I was looking at Kenda, Stens 165-200 or Carlisle WT300.

Kendra, and Carlisle are both good tires!

I prefer the Carlisle and if you're lucky the one's you get may even be built in
the USA. Carlisle has the most years building lawn and garden tires and I've
seen a whole bunch of them 30 plus years old. From what I've seen over the
years they are the best at compounding their tires to last the longest.

Leaks are leaks many causes and the best solution if you don't have lots of
flats caused by thorns etc are tubes.
