WD1050 Sutong Turf Lawn and Garden Tire, 20x8.00-8-Inch

This is a good quality tire, certainly a decent one for the price. It will dryrot, before you can run all the tread off of it, on a lawn mower. As others have mentioned it is a challenge to get it to seat the bead, and stay sealed. Here's what I did: I ran a small bead of black RTV silicone sealant on the inside of the rim, then I used a tire tool to push the tire down from the inside, onto the sealant. I did this on the side of the rim, opposite the valve stem. Then I flipped the tire over, and took the core out of the stem. (This lets a LOT more air go into the tire through the chuck.) Then, I ran a bead of RTV around the inside of the rim on that side. With the tire stood up, you can put the chuck on the valve stem and start working the tire towards the rim. The tire needs to be warm from the sun. At least not cold, depending on the time of year you do this. The tire should pop onto the rim, and the sealant will insure that it will stay there, and not leak around the bead. Note: if the tire still doesn't want to seat, you might try running a small 1in strap around the tire, inline with the tread, and tightening it up, as you put air in... just be careful because as the tire seats, it will try to rip your strap off. Never underestimate the power of air pressure. Also, certain air chucks will not work, with the core out of the stem. I use the big truck style air chucks, they are made for that very purpose of working without the core in the stem.) The tread isn't very thick, but as I said earlier, this tire will dryrot before it wears out.

I purchased this tire to save a few dollars over the more known brand that my tractor originally had. It seems to be slightly smaller than the original. I had zero issues with mounting the tire. Simply set one bead by hand then pulled the tire on the other side while inflating with my small home compressor. I'll be purchasing another since my other tire is pretty dry rotted and I'd like matching tires.

I bought this tire as a change from the other two brands I have been using that dry rotted much faster than I thought was reasonable. Once they go flat the sidewall cracks and becomes almost impossible to hold tire pressure. Installing a tube is an option if the cracked sidewall does not show inside or the tire cord is not damaged. I bought a tube along with this Sutong tire for additional protection against going flat. I am hoping this will give me much longer tire life. The Sutong tire appears to be of lighter construction and also with less tread than the other brands I have been using. The tread matters very little as I have never worn out a Lawn mower tire, it has always been a matter of dry rot that brings the tire to it's end of useful life. I have a 25 year old Ford tractor that has its original tires and often wonder why all tires can't be made that well!

received tires on time as promised, easily installed, I used tubes in both, tires seem to be as good as or better than the originals,. If they last at least 10 years we have a winner! We already have a winner because I finally got my lawn mowed, thanks.

GREAT TIRE, JUST A LITTLE HARD TO GET ON THE RIM WITHOUT A TIRE MACHINE

When I received these two tires they were mashed so flat they could not be mounted., however, a day in the hot sun and they popped right back to shape. Wondered why they were mashed so flat so I actually did a search and found the a lot of companies stack them so high and they are so heavy that they get a bit smashed. But, the tire itself was GREAT.

Do NOT buy!! Made in CHINA crap! These tires are Impossible to mount on your rim. I have had my tractor for ten years and have always changed my own tires. These however are so cheaply made they will NOT seat on the bead. I tried every trick I knew and after wasting an ENTIRE Saturday we took them to 5 different tire shops and got one mounted. The tire shops were so frustrated and tried so hard we had to pay 3 of them. After being totally furious and completely out of patience I just want to cut this last tire into a thousand tiny little pieces and send it back. At this point I do not know what we will do. Probably buy a real tire from a decent manufacturer. Spend the extra 10 or 20 bucks and get a good tire. I in the past had good luck with Carlisle turf savers and Marathon makes a great airless foam filled front tire. I read another review that had the same problem and ignored him, Please for your own sanity and to not look like a fool to your kids and your wife heed our warnings!! DO NOT BUYDO NOT BUY DO NOT BUY!!!!

Had to use a high volume air pressure seeler to seel the tire to the wheel., the only way I could get the tire to seel was to take it to a tire company to seel it for me , using the above tool.;I like the tire and I ordered another one, hoping I can get it mounted with out having to go to the tire company.

The tire was destroyed when mounting on rim. Very brittle rubber. I have never seen such a low grade tire in my life.
