early 6-12 turf tires still made?

[bean 85]

hello,

are there any replacements for the early 6-12 turf tires? something similar to the pic

[grnlark 489]

Hopefully soon! The originals back in the day were made by Firestone and the molds were then sold to Carlisle. Obviously, Carlisle removed the Firestone name and started selling them with Carlisle on the sidewall. About 3 years ago Carlilse discontinued making them due to diminishing demand, but I know the guy personally who bought the molds from Carlisle last year. He's actually in the process of working with Firestone to get permission to repro the tires himself but using the original Firestone name. The last time I talked to him, he was hopeful he'd be able to begin in mid 2012.

If you go onto Miller Tire's site, they still have them shown, but are not listed.

Maybe they can help you possibly, maybe have some old stock of them.

thank you. I would like to get a set of the turf tires so I can remove the 6-12 super lugs, for mowing and when the yard is a little too soft.

that might be an option. I might see what atv knobby tires are available too.

Miller lists these tires but does not have them in stock last I checked.

Found some 6-12 Goodyears very similar to what you are looking for. Check out you personal message, I'll send you a link. The add says there are more than 10 available.

[bean 85]

the other day I bought a set of original wheel horse turf savers off of ebay.they look like the tires in the original post. I really like the design. the ags are doing a number on our half frozen yard.

If anybody is interested in these 6-12 Goodyear Suburbanites that look similar to the original above let me know and I'll send a link to your personal message.

I'm looking for some 6-12 tires that look like the originals.

[Don1977 604]

I don't have that link now. That as over a year ago.

[1974-B-80 52]

I knew it was over a year ago. I just thought I'd try to see if you had the link still.

I've got a set of Carlisle which are dead nuts to the originals, only use them for a short time at the Wheel Horse Show. PM me if interested.
