Rex,
I have an extra set of tires that are the smooth buffed atv tires. I was planing
on using them on my classic 4 when my lawn tractor tires wear out. What was
"shocking" about yours?

Tom,
the buffed down tyres were only two ply and they only had to see a grass field and they went flat. My Lawn tractor tyres are 4 ply. I couldn't find tubes for the buffed down tyres and that didn't help. I have 8" steel rims with brake disk lugs welded on the back. This causes slight distortion on the inside and leads to poor sealing without tubes. The buffed down tyres were squirmy at 9-10 lb pressure at times but too tight at higher pressure. I think my slightly smaller Lawn tyres handle excellent at 18 PSI. I used green slime sealant in the buffed down tyres only to find it started attacking the rims. All in all I don't want to see them again. I couldn't put them in the bin fast enough.
Rex.

Okay, thanks Rex, That is good to know. I have the same tires and wheels that you do. I got a good deal on an extra set of wheels from another list Member. The buffed down atv tires were a "Bonus". he shipped the wheels to me with the tires on them. They have tubes in them by the way.
