How to choose
Terrain first, then ply.
The tread families here
6 of the 9 tires at this size cluster into two families — owners pick by terrain, then ply.
Turf
The OEM pattern on most ZTRs and lawn tractors. Wide shoulders, shallow lugs — grips wet grass without tearing the lawn.
Best on: residential lawns, flat-to-moderate terrain
Kenda K500 Super Turf4P$39.932 more in this family, in the grid above.
AG / R1 Lug
Chevron lugs. Better grip on hills and damp clay, with the trade-off of visible tracking on flat lawns.
Best on: hilly yards, wet spring conditions, hauling
Deestone D407 Super Lug4P $34.89 · 6P $37.021 more in this family, in the grid above.
Prices per tire.
Then the ply
It's about deck weight and what you tow, not speed.
2 Ply— right for most
- Residential mowing on a 42″-to-50″ deck
- Flat-to-moderate lawns, no towing
- Usually cheaper per tire
- Over-spec is overkill for residential — 4-ply buys nothing on a flat lawn
If you're not sure, this is you.
4 Ply— when the deck works for a living
- Running a bagger, towing a small cart, or mowing slopes
- Commercial-fleet decks
- The penalty for under-spec is a sidewall failure mid-season
Baggers and carts: go 4-ply.

Tube or tubeless — check the tire.
Tube type varies tire to tire at this size — check the Tube row on a tire's page before you order. When one is called for, the match is a 16x6.50-8 tube (TR-13 valve).
