Lawn & Garden Tires for Mowers, Tractors & Outdoor Equipment

Lawn and garden tires are engineered specifically for equipment that operates in residential, commercial, and public green spaces (i.e. golf courses and parks), where traction, stability, and turf protection matter most. Whether you’re maintaining a home lawn, managing acreage, or running professional landscaping equipment, the right lawn and garden tire helps improve performance while minimizing damage to grass, soil, and finished surfaces. Additionally, quality tire construction help to reduce frustrating down time.

Our collection of lawn mower tires, garden tractor tires, and utility equipment tires includes a wide range of sizes, tread styles, and constructions designed to match the unique demands of lawn and garden machinery.

Types of Equipment That Use Lawn & Garden Tires

Lawn and garden tires are commonly found on a wide variety of outdoor equipment, including:

• Riding Lawn Mowers & Push Mowers - Designed to support machine weight while providing smooth operation and gentle turf contact.
• Garden Tractors - Heavier-duty machines used for mowing, towing, tilling, and material transport.
• Zero-Turn Mowers - Require tires that allow tight turning and precise control without tearing grass.
• Tillers & Cultivators - Often use aggressive or bar-style tread for traction in loose or freshly tilled soil.
• Snow Blowers - Lawn and garden tires designed to maintain grip on wet, icy, or snow-covered surfaces.
• Utility Carts & Yard Trailers - Used for hauling tools, mulch, soil, and landscaping materials.
• Wheelbarrows & Specialty Lawn Equipment - Including aerators, sprayers, dethatchers, and spreaders.
• Golf Carts - Operate on turf and landscaped areas and require tires that protect grass while providing stability.

Types of Lawn & Garden Tires

Choosing the correct tire style is essential for performance, safety, and turf preservation. Common lawn and garden tire types include:

• Turf Tires - The most popular choice for lawn care equipment. Turf tires feature wide, smooth tread patterns that provide adequate traction while minimizing grass damage. Typical lug design for turf tires include an "s" shaped lug in some form.
• Knobby Tires - Designed with raised knobs, usually square, for improved grip in loose soil, mud, or uneven terrain. Common on garden tractors , ATVs, and utility equipment.
• Ribbed Tires - Straight rib patterns provide excellent steering control and are often used on front wheels of tractors and riding mowers. These ribs run through the centerline of the tire around the whole perimeter.
• Lug Tires - Deep, aggressive lugs offer maximum traction in mud, soft ground, or hilly terrain. Ideal for heavier equipment and ground-engaging tasks.
• Bar Tread Tires - Typically used on tillers and cultivators, these tires provide strong forward bite in dirt and loose soil and are the type of tire conventionally found on agricultural tractors.
• Smooth Tires - Generally no tread pattern at all, just a smooth easy rolling surface, where disturbance must be kept to an absolute minimum. These are most often found on the front caster of zero turn mowers.

Tire Construction Options

Lawn and garden tires are available in several construction types to suit different applications:

• Pneumatic Tires – Air-filled for cushioning and comfort
• Semi-Pneumatic Tires – Air pockets without full inflation, resistant to flats
• Solid Tires – Flat-proof and maintenance-free for puncture-prone environments
• Airless Tires - Designed with flat tread surfaces and plastic / rubber composite "spokes" that act as cushioning, similar to a pneumatic tire. The most popular example of this type of tire is the Michelin Tweel.

You’ll also find both bias-ply and radial lawn and garden tires, with radial tires offering smoother ride quality and longer tread life, while bias tires provide rugged durability at a lower cost.

Common Lawn & Garden Tire Sizes

Lawn and garden tires come in a wide range of diameters and widths to fit everything from push mowers to heavy garden tractors. Popular sizes are often listed in formats such as:

• 4.10/3.50-4
• 15x6.00-6
• 18x8.50-8
• 20x10.00-10
• 23x10.50-12

*Always consult your equipment manufacturer’s specifications or sidewall markings to ensure proper fitment.

Terrain Types Lawn & Garden Tires Are Designed For

These tires are built to perform across diverse outdoor conditions, including:

• Turf and grass
• Loose or tilled soil
• Mud and wet ground
• Hard-packed dirt
• Gravel and crushed stone
• Sand and mulch
• Paved and concrete surfaces
• Hills and slopes
• Wet or dewy grass
• Leaf-covered ground
• Snow and icy conditions (with appropriate tread or chains)

Choosing the Right Lawn & Garden Tire

Selecting the right tire depends on your equipment type, terrain, and intended use. A tire ideal for a riding mower may not perform well on a garden tractor used for towing or tilling. Proper tire selection improves traction, reduces turf damage, extends equipment life, and delivers better overall performance.
