This is a nice front end replacement tubeless tire/rim assembly (made in China) for the price rated at 50 psi max (compare to lesser 35 psi tires) for my Toro 14-38-zero turn mower that just keeps going (purchased in 2003). Later, when the original tubeless tires (made in China) started leaking around the rims, I installed inner tubes at a relatively small cost that kept the tires going for these many years. However; it was time for new wheels as the bushings were worn and I was getting some flats. I also bought new spanners (inner most bushing part) online that matched these standard wheels. I will now see which lasts longer, these new wheels or the mower itself! If you choose to use inner tubes in tubeless tires as I did, I highly recommend purchasing a tire changer (available online). Then you can remove and mount tires on all your home equipment with reduced effort once you learn the method. Patching inner tubes and tubeless tires is relatively cheap and easy using tire kits from your auto store as compared to the cost of tire repair at your dealer… no waiting till Monday. I could not give this purchase any meaningful rating since it is untested. However; the replacement tires closely match my original Toro tire/specs that have lasted upwards of 15 years (and later with inner tubes). Replacing the front assembly was straight forward. A small jack will be convenient from your car or get one costing a few bucks at your auto junk yard (ask for help). Be sure to grease your new tires initially (and at least yearly) using the grease fitting.Read full review

Tire itself and rim are fine. Manufacturing defect means that unfortunately the wheel has two different sized bushings pressed in place. One is the correct size for my mower, and the other side is about 1/8" too big. I was going to re-use one of them from my old wheel, but they are pressed in too heavily to get one out of the new wheel without a hydraulic press. I didn't have time to wait for a replacement, so In the end I took the wheels to a tire center and had the tires swapped over. Made in China and so

It was impossible to find this wheel on the local market even from those that sell Toro mowers. A couple of places offered to order it for me but the shipping was half the cost of the wheel. Finding this dealer on ebay was a real Godsent as the price was reasonable but the best part was how pleasant the ordering process went and then the wheel was received days before expected. I put it on the mower and haven't regreted any part of this transaction. Would I order from this dealer again, I hope I don't have to but if the need arises they will be the first folks I turn to. Thanks.

The only thing I noticed is that it will develop flat spots if there is weight left on it. My 6' finish mower came originally with 4 tubeless tires exactly like this. After the first week of sitting in the garage, I noticed the first time rolling it across the driveway that the wheel had a small flat spot in it. It didn't cause any issues and I really didn't pay attention to if it worked itself out quickly. If you use them on something that is critical to smooth rolling on flat surfaces, you might be better with pneumatic tires.

The tires are exactly as advertised. They are a good quality tire and rim assy, and even have a grease fitting like the originals. A good deal for the money.
