29psi...

 Was mostly done to seat the bead since it was a tubeless tire. Customer came to pick it up and told me they run them at around 8 to 12psi normally.

My 416 just barely clears 24s without raising the fender, like...dont get your fingers between the tire and fender.

Same on my '74 C160-8

Guys, I bought 2 turf tires 18x8.5x8 ,probably out of Husqvarna(rear ones), with 3/4" center bore,no bearings?,with key.

What can do with that? I was thinking about front tires,but these ones are maybe too big or wide (I've got regular 6"). Probably will need different spindles?.

I have 22x7.5x12 rear ones. Second purpose is my diy trailer, turf tires would be perfect fit.

Yep, probably too big for fronts (rub on frame? bore length?)

Garden trailer seems likely, or some other implement.

Mounted the tires for the Toro Frankensteins dumper and figured since I was doing a photoshoot anyway why not take some measurements for future reference. 

 

Ordered these 'Armor' brand tires through work. I like the coarse tread on them and they were pretty affordable, I believe they were about $175,- for all four.

 

 

18x9.50-8

 

Actual measurements at about 20 psi.

Bit narrow..

 

 

Pretty close I'd say.

And the fronts, 13x5.00-6.

 

Again, bit narrow.

 

Diameter pretty spot on again.

 

 

Armor brand. Made in China.
