OTR Turf Rib 13X5.00-6 4 Ply (DC) AS A/S All Season Tire

OTR Turf Rib. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: Improved controllability; Longer-lasting tread life; Upgraded driving durability; . OVERVIEW: The OTR Turf Rib is an all season tire made for lawn mowers and garden tractors.The ribbed tread pattern firmly grips the surface and keeps forward motion at all times. This tread design enhances the tires performance on soft, loose, and uneven surfaces. At the same time, the tires constant contact with the driving surface upgrades steering responsiveness and driving stability. The rounded shoulders help the tire to have better cornering and maneuvering. These elements guarantee the drivers full control over the vehicle and provide a safe driving experience.The reinforced internal structure and the durable rubber compound keep the optimal tire shape under load and driving pressure. This structure does not allow the tire to deform under loads, which enables the model to increase its load-carrying capacity and withstanding ability. On the other hand, the durable rubber compound protects the tire against external damage during off-road performance.The OTR Turf Rib offers a longer-lasting tread life. The ribbed tread pattern and the special silica compound resist irregular and premature wear formations along the tread area. In other words, the optimized tread elements evenly distribute the driving pressure, while the silica compound slows the treadwear rate down. This reduced and even wear significantly lengthens the tires service life.This is a bias ply tire. Due to the tire’s internal construction and size, it is possible that the tire will look deformed. Smaller bias ply tires do not have reinforced constructions that can keep the tire from deforming. The bias construction and the small tire’s non-reinforced internal structure allow the tire to fold in when it is deflated or not properly inflated. This is not constructional damage or an issue; it is a normal occurrence with such tires. In such cases, the tire needs to be mounted and inflated to the proper PSI or, in some instances, an inner tube needs to be added. The proper PSI and the inner tube are able to maintain the tire’s ideal shape, preventing the bias plies from looking deformed. This ensures their performing safety and durability. The photo is a representation of the tire’s possible deformation, it does not represent the specific tire model, size, tread pattern and application. This specific tire model features a BIASED ply construction. Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
