Great tires, came nicely packed in the box, and did not compress kzfaq.infoUgkx985f3iNjxHFMO6JoE7CSGActiIEyumFx . It fitted my craftsman riding mower just fine. It is a little narrower than my stock tires but so far it has held up and works great. No air leaks and traction was great in my hilly backyard. Installation was good and was not too difficult, highly recommended.

Gotta love those Chicago electric tools. They got 2 speeds, off and crackhead speed.

"Just look at the mud and you get stuck." Gotta love that southern charm!

I wish I had seen this method last year. I got sick of tearing up my lawn with turf tires on my zero-turn, so I put R1 (tractor) tires on it and it works great. I even have one of those tools, but never thought of cutting the turf tires. Thanks for the great idea and the video!

When you speed the video up right after you start cutting the sound is just like the drill at the dentist! Gives me the shivers!

It took me a while to realize that these are lawnmower tires

After my stock tires were done, I've installed sunf mud tires on my ride on mower, and I am now 99.9% stuck proof on my flatland here in East Tx. Used to be a misery. Going back to stock tires is a nightmare I am not willing to walk back into. If you got stock tires that are still in good condition, cut them up like this guy, you owe it to yourself! Thank you Sir for this nice tip! Well done!

Who else can smell this through the screen?

I am a bit late to the party here, but I tried this and it works a treat. A fan of your vids. Not really as happy to be stuck in the mud as you but it looks like a hoot. I have a 100 ft. by 100 ft. slope about 25 degrees with rocks on the bottom and Lake Erie after that. Neighbors have rolled riding mowers, got stuck underneath, and dumped them in the lake. I use a dead man tether with the old seat switch so I can sit on the edge of the seat. A bumper weight for traction helps a lot. Doing it this way for 5 years. When the grass is really wet or dry it slides a bit still when heading downhill. Last week it kind of got away on me so I priced out some Carlisle Superlug tires. $141 each Canadian, no thanks. Cut the grass today with the paddle pattern and it is much better. Can even back up the hill a bit and when it slipped, the skid marks were no worse than before. Thanx, you the man!

Truth is you tear up more grass and make a lot bigger mess spinning your way through with the stock tires, than just walking through it with the cut ones. Nice job!

Great idea, I tried a cut off wheel, no good, this is great! Thanks for posting! Mow on wet days, collects under the deck.

I really like the fact you spent a lot of time demoing the result of your work. Other videos will show how to do something and do not give the result. Thanks very much.

Hey it's me again I still love your stuff had a thought of doing this to my mowers and looked it up boom there u were getting it done so I got a tool now all my mowers are lugged with decent tires that work I use them on a farm moving hay wagons n stuff alot easier to grab a super mower quick than firing up a big diesel for a small job u do great stuff keep it up

damn i’m 16 and this is the best hack to cut grass in any condition that’s fucking smart. i would give you a Nobel Prize

I honestly don't know how I got here lmao...I'm here watchin someone mess with there mower and mowing grass wtf dueces 😂😂😂😂

Simple but effective. Looks like it worked really well for ya, nice!

Thanks for the vid! Can’t wait till spring

I wish I had seen this before I bought the knobbies for my z. I'm using this method on my work mowers. New tires aren't in the budget this year. Thanks.

I helped my buddy pull his stand-on Toro out way too many times! nice video!

I have same problems man!! Sweet idea man!!! I know what I’m doing before spring!! Rock on mower man!!!!🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

That thing cuts through those tyres like butter!

never thought of doing that to my turf tires. going to do it. here's to future fun

Before: "We can't dip the tires in the pond, only goes around the edges" After: "Yeeeeeee Haaawwwwww boys, wet n wild!!!"

"No, I'm not taking it off in the pond." Immediately drives into pond. Exactly what I do every time I say I won't do something. Anyway, great idea. I wonder if it would work for making a cheap, old all terrain tire into a more mud terrain tire. I think I'll give it a shot.

Why would you mow when it's that wet?

Awesome. Great that you mentioned the downside too

Tell me you raced flat track without telling me you raced flat track. Love it my dude.

Nice. Gunna try in my truck always gets stuck. Lol jk but nice modification definitely have to do that 👍 people just don’t understand ingenuity and working with what you got or improvising on the spot. Your yard and you know what works to take care of it. Nice vid

I have s similar wetness problem with my property, I like this idea. never even would have thought of this. I'm doing it

Good tip good video I might give that a try, thanks for sharing.

I did that years ago with a set of wolley boogers. I took the knobs out that were on the outside of the cheverons. What a difference.

I enjoyed the before and after, nice job, the oscillating tools are pretty handy once you find a job for them huh.

Boy howdy, let's go muddin with my zero turn. Southern ingenuity

Was anybody else just waiting for the BOOM?

Hit the blade of that tool with some silicone lube every now and again and you will be surprised at how much easier it cuts.

Sweet loved watching!!

Put some fox shocks on that bad boy and you be jumping that mower

I love how you take it in the mud😂 never seen a mower go mud bogg'n before lol

The classic way tires have been modified is with a hot knife. Of course they cost up to ten times what that Harbor Fright tool costs. But they literally cut like a hot knife in butter. If I were modifying a tire for mud I would definitely cut a chevron tread. And I've had a LOT of experience with mud. Full time dairy farmer fo 20 years. Mud and manure were our nemesis.

Man that was a badass Impala in the background thumbs up

Oh u really need to clean that deck (world of differance when u do)out more often😂keep them vids comin...enjoy them all

I highly recommend the Carlisle fieled and turf. They have been great for my lawn tractor. One of the many flaws with zero turns is the lack of mobility.

Tried it on a used tire. BAM! Demolition Derby icoming next month to San Bernardino County Fair. Grooving tires for my #4 car & my buddies #5 car.

I had to put knobby atv tires on my Scag 52 inch zero turn because it always got stuck. Never thought of carving out mower tires. The deck os painted with epoxy paint and that seems to reduce grass buildup.

Really good job man! I bet it helps immensely

That man is proud of his lawn mower

Que buena me dió una idea para mas adelante 👏🏻😎 saludos desde 🇨🇱 y algún día quisiera irme a vivir allá 😞

I put ATV Snow chains on my Garden tractor I had before. Never slipped, but you had to be a bit careful not to tear up the whole lawn.

Great video thank you for sharing

Good job dude, quite a clean cut

Great idea!

Don't get caught up in all the nay Sayers. People have zero manners when it comes to the internet getting worse by the day. These people would never talk like this in real life. Great job making due with what you got!

even allows you to enjoy the maneuverability without destroying the ground and grass!

Its all good the video was cool i didnt know you could cutt tires like that, i understand too bout your dad my dad was the same way..😊😊😊

Definitely worked. Well done.

I like the job on the tires. I don't know where you live, here in Kentucky that deck would be sitting way too low. It looks like the deck wheel bottoms are even with the bottom of the deck. Here we would have the bottom of the deck at least two inches off the average surface of the ground. And the bottom of the deck would be checked often and scraped free of any build up. There's a vacuum created by the blades the makes a better cut, but if the deck is all gunked up that vacuum can't form. Anyhow, I'm nitpicking. Nice tire job.

Nicely done. I'm guessing that's a lot cheaper than buying tires with tread but they must wear fast since you've already cut several

Good stuff. I think I may run Chevrons next year.

You got your moneys worth out them blades, lol. Look about like the blades on mine 🙂👍

I guess this would help those who live in wet land conditions. At my property, the land doesn't have the water/mud problem.

If I had a mower I would give my tires a clip too 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

With my turf tires I tear up the grass anyway if it is slightly wet just turning spins the tires great video

In Australia we mow with slick tyres, mowing is cut down by half due to better performance.

Can you also do this to car tires (for driving on dirt roads in the rain)?

This is one of the reason I buy AG tires. I used to plow with it but I'll still keep using AG tires. Yes they have AG tires as small at 20x10x10

How are the tires holding up? I want to say thank you for sharing and look over all the ones that are asking why you did it or why not buwt new ones they clearly have more money then since, I just wish I would have found this video before spending 500 on a set of what we call tractor tires for my zero turn but then again the tires that was on the mower I got was bald on one said so I didn't really have a choice, but next time I will remember this video and save money thank you again

I don't get why all the negative comments, I guess they have perfect yards and tons of money. Probably never had to mow 2-3 acres. That needs cut at least once a week during the spring and early summer. Sometimes you can't wait for the ground to dry.

Gonna do this immediately. Thanks

I subbed, no clue about the channel. The down votes are dumb. I like the idea and it makes sense to me.

I haven’t seen your Craftsman zero turn mower lately. If you know the make and model of your mower can you please tell it to me? I will keep loving your videos.

Cool tip I might try that on my golfcart

Good job brother way to be innovative

Shit ..he gonna change the blade too .I'm sticking around for this !!

Well worth the trade off for sure.

Made sense, I'd probably done the same thing. GJ.

Pretty sweet trick bro!

Good idea.

Nice work!

Look at Rock Rods Tech- tire grooving. They cut out the center nobs (checker board style) to get knarly ass nobbies. Using same type of oscillating cutter tool.

Everyone talking shit about mowing when there's water on the ground lives on a half acre plot in suburban New Jersey.

All I want to say is, I grew up cleaning the deck and sharpening the blades every 2 times I mowed. As for the tires, I guess that is the cheap way of making All-terrains.

all the negative feed back cracks me up, nice video chud!

Nice!👍 i literally did this a year ago. And THEEEEEN i find this video. Lol. Im late as usuall

The negative comments are funny. Sure it's a hack job on the tire but something that was useless for the conditions before is now ideal. It's a win.

Do they seem to be getting more punctures or tears in between the lugs now? That's the only think I'd be worried about. Lug treads might be made with increased puncture resistant material than these turf savers, I don't know. My tires don't seem to be very thick material, in between the lugs

Which tread do you think grips better out of the two that you made here? I’m about to do this to mine and i don’t know whether to go with the paddle tire style or the staggered tread like you have on the other side.

you know, i wonder if you scuffed up the treads you left and expoxed the cones you cut off on top of them if it wold hold. i shold try that with my 35's, if it fails i can pull or cut them back off.

God he really likes that lawnmower 😂

I just got a second set of tires for mine. Its really dry during the summer and really wet during the winter. So turf tires are useless in the winter and anything with grip tears up the grass in the summer.

2:05 Feels like dentist.

nice tire slashing video LOL I'm sure it will give you a little bit more traction though great job

You could have clued the chevron shapped cut offs onto the same pattern knobs upside down for a more nobby tire.

Damnit,,,, I just ordered new tires. Where has this video been!???

I was waiting for the pop!!!!!!!!😂

Cool vid! I subbed!

Wtfff. Why are people getting upset about this. 😂. Just found your channel. I usually spend my time watching car videos. But hey, I'll sub.!

I’d say wait till it’s dry , but some areas never see that

Looks like it made a big difference

Here is a tip: cut 2 full rows of tread and cut slits in each tread

Well yeah it's normal that the turf tires don't work for you. They are designed to not damage the lawn but also have enough grip to mowe it. But I get it the mud tires are a better option in your case because you rougher terrain and you are not a person who gets a heart attack if their lawn gets a bit damaged. But yeah If I was you I would buy a set of mud tyres at a later point. But this is a good temporary salutation for mowing your lawn the same day. Btw love how you say "thanks for watching" at the end of every comment. For the record that was not sarcastic
