Using a sidewinder rough cut mower that is the "trailer" or drawbar type mower about 7'. It has a hydraulic cylinder to raise and lower the two wheels on the back that control height.

The tires are aircraft type tires, and I forgot to write down the size on them, they looked to me like old style trailer tires but I believe they were 12 ply, probably too hold up in the rough use expected. They look like they are on pretty standard 5 bolt wheels but had a size like 20 or something so I am guessing that they spec them by outside Diameter.

Anyway, looking for a pair of those tires or replacements and wondered if anyone had traveled this road before?

Will get the actual size and post later.

Thanks

I think they are quite old and well used.

Should they in fact be aircraft tires, exact replacement could be pricey. If the carcasses are still usable, you might be able to patch up the holes and install new tubes. If they're are not immediately usable/repairable - but possibly salvageable - perhaps an area retread plant (?) In any case, new tubes are probably in order.
