Tire worked as it should. I installed it on my John Deere L111 at home with ratchet straps.

The local tire shop wanted 93.00/tire so probably like most of you I figured I could save a few bucks and look elsewhere. The tires I bought were 20X8X8 and were a direct John Deere L100 replacement. I read the reviews and knew they would be difficult to install but I embraced the challenge, I mean im a “go-getter” how hard could it really be? They arrived on time and came wrapped in that plastic wrap just like everyone said and it did misshaped /distorted it. So I did what others did and let them sit in the Oregon sun (maybe that's my problem right there) for a couple days to reshape themselves. After a few days I figured it would be worth the try... yeah the bead wasn't even close to the rim so I decided to stop while I was ahead and just have the local tire shop get it done for a small price.. totally worth it when I saw the challenge. So local the tire shop couldn't even get it inflated. They even used forced air or what they call the "cheetah" and still nothing. So they gave me back the tires and said “good luck, maybe come back later if they relax a little”. Well, now I figured it was all on me to give it a hard try. My first thought was to warm them up so they can relax. So I soaked each tire in super hot water bath in my utility sink for about 6 hours per each tire. Then I let them relax overnight. That did help... but still not enough to remotely get the bead close to the rim. My next move was trying a heat gun... That didn’t last long as I could see that after 20 minutes there was little to no improvement. So then I started calling friends for advice to which they suggested I use ratchet straps to get the tire in place! Great Idea I thought! So I tried that…. Nothing. I even tried a few different ways… and nothing. So now ive wasted a bit of time trying to get this thing to seal. So I decided to try taking it to another tire shop… Maybe I got them to relax enough? Les Schwab (tire shop) said they would do it for no charge as all they were doing was airing it up.. so I was all about that! I dropped the tire off and said “Good luck! When you Yall finally give up please just put a tube in it, I’m done trying!” Two days later I got a call saying they were done and it was ready for pick up. Upon picking up the tire I was thoroughly amazed that they didn't use a tube. The service guy told me it was an after work party to try and get them inflated! They succeeded and I’m sure there's now a “no tractor tire” policy at all Lew Schwabs! Sorry guys! Haha. So the tires are now on the tractor, I have successfully installed and mowed the yard, the wife is once again happy and life has been restored. The tires seem really well built, sturdy and thick. I would highly recommend the tire build but minus 1 star as the are a son of a gun to install. So before you purchase you better get your game face on to try and install these! You might have better luck if your able to leave them out for a few weeks before you need to mount them… Good luck!

I had Carlisle Turf Saver Lawn & Garden Tire - 20X8-8 on my tractor for 10 years until one started to leak through the sidewall. The tire tread was still in great shape, but sidewall leaks cannot be plugged, patched, or fixed with a tire sealer. In hindsight, I should have invested in an inner tube. However, I read the reviews and took on the challenge of swapping out the tire and ordered a pair. I specifically chose Carlisle, since that is what I had on the original tractor. My original tires were "Made in USA", but these replacements are now "Made in China". Despite this, they appeared to be of excellent quality. However, like many other purchasers, I was disappointed that these tires arrived crushed and deformed which greatly complicated the mounting challenge. I watched several Youtube videos and first tried the air compressor and ratchet strap technique which failed multiple time to inflate the tire. I bought a second ratchet strap and got brave attempting the Starter Fluid and fire explosive method of mounting them. Prior to doing this, I removed the needle valve from the valve stem as recommended on Youtube. On my first attempt with Starting Fluid, I got one side to mount on the bead, so I attempted a second try. This time, the other side mounted on the bead, but blew the brass connector right out of the valve stem. So, I then had to go purchase valve stems, de-bead the tire, replace the stem, and start all over. On my next try, I used less Starting Fluid, and again got one side of the tire bead to mount again using two ratchet straps. I again adjusted the two ratchet straps and on my second try was ultimately successful in getting the other side to bead without destroying the valve stem. All in all, I do not recommend taking on this task. If you have a sidewall leak, purchase an innertube instead, and avoid all of the pyrotechnics and ratchet strap adjustments that I had to endure to finally get these deformed doughnuts to mount!

Great tire that was crushed in shipping process and was near impossible to inflate. Tire arrived wrapped in cellophane so tightly it was in an oval shape rather than round. It was also compressed side to side so it was only about 2/3 its normal width. As a result of being compressed side-to-side, the center of the tread surface was collapsed toward the rim for most of the tire. As a result, at least one bead of the tire was a long, long way from the rim at any given time. I could get the tire mounted on the rim but since the center of the tread was already collapsed toward the rim, the typical trick of putting a tie-down strap around the tire and cinching it up to force the beads closer to the rim had no chance of working. I took the mounted tire to a national tire chain store and they refused to even attempt to inflate it. They offered to put a tube in it and then inflate it but that's not what I bought a new tubeless tire for. I went home and spent a couple hours with expanding clamps and a heat gun attempting to get the tread surface to something close to its normal width. I made a little progress but it was clear that none of the typical DIY tricks for getting the bead to seat on the rim was going to work. I finally found another tire store willing to try to inflate the tire and after 5 attempts using their commercial tools, they finally got it to inflate. I've learned that before I ever order tire on-line again, I've got to establish that vendor and shipper are willing to ship the tire in its natural form and not crush it to save shipping space. Either that or be supplied with DIY instructions on how restore the tire to its natural shape before it is mounted. Hope this review saves someone from the experience I had. I shouldn't take a day and a half to get a tire inflated after it's been mounted.

Tires arrived banded and taped. Left out in sun to heat up for two days.tires are still deformed and will not expand to set the bead. Same tires as originals and lasted a very long time until dry rot set in. Traction excellent.
