26x12-16 Zero tire failures. Does anybody make 6ply ?

[Brown Dog]

I destroyed the sidewall last summer.

Something punctured a big hole in one this afternoon.

This is two that’s failed.

Almost $300 a pop ain’t cheap.

I limbed the ZD1511 a 1/4 mile back to the shop & pulled out the ZD1611 to continue to mow until dark.

These mowers are super heavy & need a tougher tire especially mowing horizontally on these steep banks.

Any ideas ?
I don’t want to swap down to 12” wheels as both of my mowers have 16”

Check and see if Carlisle makes the size you need

Does anyone have airless tires for these.? I have to air mine up ever time I start to mow.

I’ve heard the Tweels doesn't hold up well with the ZD1211 & bigger machines because they are so much heavier.
Idk personally myself tho.

I don’t use them because I run fluid filled rears with 140lbs of weight on front axle for my steep banks.

Mine are filled with a sealer. I don't know if I've ever punctured them, because they automatically seal

Get them foam filled. There is a foam that you can fill them with that adds weight and will allow you to run them bald! It also isn't the hard type, it's a softer fill that won't jar your teeth.
