Question 1

What does 23×8.50−12 mean?

Accepted Answer

23×8.50−12 breaks down as 23″ tall, 8.5″ wide, on a 12-inch wheel. It's also written 23x8.5-12.

Question 2

What machines take 23×8.50−12 tires?

Accepted Answer

Common front on lawn tractors and zero-turn mowers running 23×10.50−12 rears — Cub Cadet, Husqvarna, John Deere; also a small utility trailer fit.

Question 3

Are all 23×8.50−12 tires interchangeable?

Accepted Answer

The size is — any 23×8.50−12 tire fits any 23×8.50−12 rim. But ply rating, tread pattern, and tube compatibility vary. We stock 4P and 6P. Lower ply for typical residential use; higher ply for slopes, loaded decks, baggers, or commercial-frequency mowing.

Question 4

Can I use a 23×8.50−12 tire with a tube?

Accepted Answer

Tube type varies tire to tire at this size, so check the Tube row on the tire's own page before you order. A tube-type tire needs a tube; a tubeless one runs fine without, though you can still run a tube inside it for a sidewall patch or low-pressure running. Either way the match is a 23x8.50-12 tube (TR-13 valve). We don't list tubes on their own — call 216-202-4802 and we'll add one to your order.

Question 5

How fast does an order ship?

Accepted Answer

If it's in stock and your order is placed by 2 PM ET, it usually goes out the same business day — and within one business day either way. Standard ground delivery to the Eastern half of the country is typically 2–3 business days; West Coast 4–5 days.

Question 6

4P or 6P for my mower?

Accepted Answer

We stock 4P and 6P. Lower ply for typical residential use; higher ply for slopes, loaded decks, baggers, or commercial-frequency mowing.
