What tires should I get?

Its time for me to start thinking about new tires for my 520H's. All of them are getting hard and starting to crack. I just had a side wall crack in a front tire let loose in a bout 8 places. I replaced the tire with what I could get at TSC. But I think one of my spring projects will be replacing tires. I've been looking all over the web at the Carlisle, Deestone, and Kendra tires to the point where I'm more confused than informed.

What do you guys recommend. My uses for the tractors is mostly form mowing my rather large lawn, so turf tires are what I need, not ags. While I do have snow blowers I always use chains.

Thanks,

Kurt

I like the Deestone, especially for the price. We are dealers for Deestone and Carlisle, don't know much about Kendra.

I saw the Deestone prices on Ebay. Sure looks attractive price-wise, but I've never seen one. I've used many Carlisles and they do OK, but I don't care for the Turf Saver pattern, it seems to spin too much on grass.

The 16X6.5-8 I picked up at TSC looks decent, but its 2 ply with the name Hi-Run on it. Never heard of that name and I'd prefer a 4 ply with my 2 stage blower the front.

Decisions, decisions.

Thanks,

Kurt
