I have searched the internet and can't find any information or impressions about these tires other than from the manufacturer. Just a single review on their website.
These tires came equipped on my Bob-Cat mower. I have traction issues with the machine and I'm not sure if it's the machine or these tires. It's a fairly light machine at 850 pounds, about 200 pounds lighter than my Exmark unit of the same size, so that's likely part of the issue. But I can't help but think these tires were made to be low impact on turf at the sacrifice of traction. Traction is better now that I have the rear bagger hopper on my machine, but still pretty poor compared to what I'm used to and I don't want to have to keep the hopper on at all times.
Sideways stability of the machine is actually excellent with these tires, but I have little control going down hills and on turns. Being that they spin and slide a lot, they clog up with mud and grass and are slow to clear...in fact they don't really clear at all until they dry out and essentially become slicks.
I really hate the thought of having to replace a set of tires with under 200 hours on them, but I'm seriously considering replacing them with a set of Carlisle Turfmasters. I've been running Turfmasters on my Exmarks since 2002 and still have the original ones on my Lazer at 1900 and they still work fine.
