Using smooth tires on your zero-turn mower

If you’re riding on a zero-turn mower, you might want to try out some smooth tires.

Smooth tires allow your mower to take sharper turns because there’s less friction between the grass and your mower, thanks to the lack of tread. Not only can you make sharper turns with the mower, but these tires will last season after season because there’s no tread to wear down.

Also, no tread pattern means your lawn will always be looking its best, because a smooth tire won’t leave any marks as you're riding along. Putting a pair of Carlisle Straight Rib tires on the front of your zero turn mower can leave marks on your lawn as you pivot your mower - so try Carlisle Smooth tires instead!
