Marastar 20808-PK Tubeless Pneumatic 20x8.00-8 Tire and Wheel Assembly, Replacement Rear Tire for John Deere Riding Mowers, Turf Traction Tread, 2 Pack

The perfect tractor tires for slippery or hilly lawns! My old 22” tires on my John Deere LA130 were dry, cracked and leaking. Stumbled on these tires in a JD forum and decided to give them a try - glad I did! Despite being 20” tires, when fully inflated (as they come in the box) they are actually closer to 21”, which is close enough for me. And despite being fully inflated (30 psi), they are a HUGE improvement for traction on my mossy lawn with several steep inclines. The center tread lugs really make a difference and despite looking very aggressive they don’t tear up the lawn. Installation is straightforward - once you get the old wheels off. I got lucky - my old wheels came off without much effort, but be prepared to struggle a bit on most tractors that have never had the wheels pulling off before. There are several good videos on YouTube demonstrating methods to remove old wheels that are rusted on the shafts. All in all these are fantastic - I’m surprised that nobody has offered a tread pattern like this before. And the price is very reasonable - cheaper than what JD charges for a single tire alone.

Have had these on my JD mower for more than one season, my yard is hilly and rough. I have not been stopped by wet grass on the slopes and ditches, much better traction and do not cut up the lawn.

Perfect fit for my JD LT180! Great traction!

fantastic traction on hills. Doesn't rip up the grass

John Deere LA135. Installation was a breeze. Removal was a PITA!! Make sure to watch some YouTube videos on removal. I needed a mallet and a piece of wood to force one of the wheels off because it was rusted on. I then took some 220 grit sandpaper to smooth the axle and remove all of the rust. Then used some 000 Steel wool to buff. Greased the shift and the inside of the wheel and the went on easily. Tread is softer than the originals, but this is because they are meatier. Hard rubber means they are past their prime and it's time to change them. I should have done so a few years back. Some reviews mention a difference in the height and width when comparing to their current tires. One person stated that the tines of their tiller were now too high. Well...the tires come over inflated. I've read one review that claimed as much as 35 pounds. My order arrived today and each were 25. The Max is stated at 22 poounds, but do to the originals. This is the max rated pressure that is safe to use and not the recommended pressure. READ YOUR MANUAL PEOPLE! I run between 8-10 pounds of air pressure. This means when I release 12-14 pounds of air pressure, the tires will widen and also lower their height. This is exactly what happened to mine. They look more square like the stock tires and the ride hight is the same. To those who may come back and read reviews to see what others think, I hope they find this part helpful. Overall, tires seem great on my first mow. They ride good and traction is improved greatly. Should make pulling my weighted aerator a breeze this fall. Recommended.

I have some drainage ditches on two boundaries of our residential property. The standard turf tires on my mower will not always climb out of the ditch easily, especially when the ground is wet from the summer rainy season. I needed something with more aggressive tread. I was searching for bar tread that is commonly used on farm tractors when I found these tires ready-mounted on wheels that match my OEM wheels. I am very happy with how the tires perform. In the photo, you can see tracks cut by the tires but those are on the weedy surface of the undeveloped lot adjacent us. In the healthy turf on my side of the property line, the tires simply dig in and climb, without scarring the surface at all. Regardless of what these tires do to the ground surface, I do not get stuck in this ditch. Occasionally I have had to pull my mower out of this ditch with a come-along-winch when I got stuck with standard turf tires. Installation of the wheels/tires was pretty simple. My mower is almost new so the old wheels slid right off after the retainers were removed. I have taken wheels off of old fixer-upper mowers that was quite a chore though. Over time, rust might have seized the wheel to the axle on an old mower. I suggest applying a thin coat anti-seize compound to the axle when reassembling. In event that you want to switch back to your old wheels someday, or you need to repair a tire, this will ensure that it comes off easily the next time. When you get your new wheels and tires installed, you may need to readjust your deck level and height. The wheels were the same size as my OEM wheels but the deep treaded tires are a bit taller and wider on the outside measurement. (See photo of the OEM tire and the new tire side by side.) How to instructions, for adjusting your mower deck, are available on YouTube or from your local mower dealer. I encourage buying the tires already mounted on wheels. Having said that, these are priced so high from some Amazon sellers that I would not buy them ready-mounted. I received a pretty good sale price on this set. I have changed out tires on riding mowers before. I will only say that it is not a job for anybody without access to professional tire changing tools except maybe for a pretty resourceful DIYer.

I bought these because I was struggling to find decent chains for the factory turf tires. As you can see they are way beefier then stock. They give triple traction compared to factory. I have only used them on snow and ice. Snow great traction and snow removal from tires. Ice.. well they try and only slip 1/3 the time as turf tires. I was using them on a john deere with front 44" snowblower. Factory tire would spin and get stuck every 5 feet. Same path on these make it 60ft. NOTE: if ordering chains must go up a size, i just built my own. The design pattern is what you want for a dual purpose tire. Overall with install being soo simple, and they seem to be a quality tire. I am satisfied and would recommend. Mounted on 2020 john deere e120.

Costano un’enormita’,però vanno bene.

Good quality rim & tire package, I can now drive up hills I couldn’t with factory tires and side hilling the ditch is so much easier They do not tear up the lawn at all even with soft spring soil They are about a inch taller and about a inch narrower with the shipped 22psi in them,no problem with clearance

I echo all the other good reviews, this brought new life to an old mower with 1100 hrs on it. They work great and were worth every penny. That being said, I don't know how long they will last and how they will endure, but I think they will be fine for years to come. PS the John Deere yellow matches bang on it's a pass and nobody's doing a double take they look excellent and perform excellent grass cutting steep slopes

Excellent tires. Great traction. They fit my Craftsman riding mower...fyi.
