Lawn, Garden and Utility Cart Tire Tread Guide


Use the description below to identify your tread type.

Rib Tread Tire Rib Tread Tire – May be found on the front of lawn tractors to help reduce turf damage when turning. May also be found on small carts and hand trucks.
Round Shoulder Turf Tire Round Shoulder Turf Tire – Used as front tractor tire providing minimal traction. Low tread depth helps reduce turf damage when turning. May also be used on carts to help reduce sliding in wet or muddy conditions.

Square Shoulder Turf Tire

Square Shoulder Turf Tire – May be found on the rear of lawn tractors or push carts. A traction-type tread tire with a biting edge for cornering and a larger footprint. The larger footprint allows for more tread on the ground and will keep the unit from sinking in when crossing wet or soft ground areas. 

Commercial Grade Turf Tire Commercial-grade Turf Tire – May be found on heavy-duty lawn mowers and golf course equipment.  These tires are available in higher ply ratings and deeper tread depth. 
 
Lug Tread Tire Lug Tread Tire – May be found on the drive axle of garden tractors or some mowing equipment. These tires are used when maximum traction is needed, for example, wet locations, loose soils, traveling up hills, plowing snow or garden tilling. Due to the lug design, the tire may tear or peel the turf when cornering or in some pulling conditions.
