what's the best tires for a garden tractor???

[@iowafox2206]

Motoos bar tires. I bought a set for my John Deere 316K haven't had a chance to really use them yet. The main use for the machine is going to be mowing. They are decent tires. On my Case 222 that's the puller and snow pusher I've got a set of BKT tr-315 bar tires I am pretty impressed with them they do a pretty good job I've abused these tires pretty good and they do decent in every condition. They look good to in my opinion.

Good on you Mike for pumping out content.

Figure somebody needed the info and if I waited and spaced the videos out jon would steel the idea than complain when my other videos came out, so all at once.

What’s your opinion on the front 3 rib vs v61 5 rib when it comes to steering? I have a manual steering Cub Cadet, mow 3 hilly acres and plow a 300’ drive. Was told to go with 3 rib by Miller tire. My wife hates the hard steering with my current set up. Front Carlisle AG tires. I was going to revers the tread pattern since i read that would help ease the steering?

[@mikestarcher]

The front AG tires just make you look stupid and don't help you with anything. You're going to want either the five ribs or the three ribs like you say. The three ribs steer easier but for most applications I like the five ribs better because they're a little bit cheaper and have more tire on the ground. if you were going to be doing all dirt work I'd say the three ribs would be your go-to but for some of everything I would recommend the five ribs.

Very much appreciate the feedback and sharing your experience.

[@mikestarcher]

@@mmal253625 of course.

Also, which tire combination would you suggest for if you are just mowing your lawn? Thank you so much for your help sir.

[@mikestarcher]

I would still go with the Carlisle true power or super lug rear bar tires. But if you're just mowing I would use either the five ribs or you can just use turf tires at that point. The three ribs will start tearing up your yard if it gets wet

Thankyou good video. I just bought a JD212 with 31 tiller, tires are shot. Says 6-12 g2 on tires now, but they look a lot narrower than all your tires. Any thoughts on what ag tire I should get for mud dirt tilling?

[@mikestarcher]

I would get different rims and get Carlisle tru powers

Would love to hear your take on a john deere 330.

[@mikestarcher]

Good engine being a diesel but not very desirable since it's an h1. I would never wanna own one.

[@ethan1970]

I’m restoring a 1974 John Deere 110 Electric Lift right now, quick question, is the Variator handle supposed to move easily while in gear moving opposed to being very hard to move while stationary motor not turning? Thank you

[@mikestarcher]

should be all same unless clutch is pressed
