Tires for 856 Wheelhorse question

[FLtractor 64]

Will these fit a 856 23x8x12.. worth the $ for what they are? 200 mile roundtrip drive 
Only pictures from listing.
Thank you

Probably not. They are too narrow to fit the factory wheels, and those look like 6-lugs, the originals for an 856 are 5-lug.

Doesn't seem so.  

 

The 8.8- 22 is likely the size.  

Quite a bit bigger than your own. 

22 is the rim size.

The add says 8.8-22. Can you tell me what that number means in relation to my 856 rear of 23x8x12? What would or should I go with?

I'm not positive here....

I believe the 8.8 is the "advertised width" of the tire. The 22 should be the wheel diameter.  

 

Many (most?) Garden Tractor tires are on a 12" wheel. 

The middle number is the width. 

The first number is the outer diameter of the tire.  

 

There are a few tires that don't get even remotely close to the actual size with their advertised size. 

 

 

You may very well find that getting two new tires is far easier and less expensive than shopping for usable used ones.  Factor in your own time and fuel.
