MARASTAR20808-PK Tubeless Pneumatic 20x8.00-8 Tire and Wheel Assembly, Replacement Rear Tire for John Deere Riding Mowers, Turf Traction Tread, 2 Pack

After installing these on the John Deere mower, we have a lot more traction onthe slopes!!

Absolutely super. Traction on damp 5% hills on angle in no longer a problem.

Should last a while - lots of knurly tread

Easily installed. Traction over turf tires = 100% better. Quality product!

I like the ease of replacement in my John Deere D110 mower. They grip like no other tire so no more spinning. You do not tear the lawn up either. Very easy to replace. I just put a car jack under the axle area. Lifter the mower up, popped the C Clip and washer iff, removed each wheel, installed new wheel/tire and put the washer and c-clip back on. It took only about 15 minutes to do. It was more expensive but certainly worth it.I would not buy just tires and take them to some dealership and have them dismounted. It is not worth the time and energy unless you want to put inner tubes inside these tires. A friend told me to try that if I was having a lot of flat tires and it worked. For now I just did a direct changeout of wheel/tire combo.

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.

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.

Been adding air to my craftsman 26hp YT4500 lawn tractor for years. I bought these wheels/tires because I liked the more aggressive tread. I had these in my garage for year and half, then started thinking, may not fit since they say for John Deer. Went out for first mow and my tires were so bad this year the sidewall was rotting. So, decided will try to install these and was simple, 5 minutes per wheel to install. Jack up back of lawn tractor, take rubber dust boot off wheel, remove clip on wheel with flathead screwdriver, take off the washers, pull off wheel, watch for the square key thing in wheel, it will fall out or get it out before removing wheel. Grease up the axle, put wheel on, line up wheel with the little square, put the square long key in, only goes in one area. Add washers supplied to make enough to just be able to get clip on wheel. Then put dust cap, front and back wheels go on same way except front has no key for wheel, since is not driven by engine. Easy, never will procrastinate again. Tire was even still full of air and had been sitting in garage year and half. The more aggressive tread already was a huge improvement, I kept spinning tires on tall grass etc, now plows right through.
