I'm needing to replace my zero turn tires this spring. Calling my
tractor dealer tires start at $110 each, ouch. So I started searching
and found tires of the same size (23x10.5-12) from $50-70ea both
localy from other dealers and from the 'net (plus shipping of course).
A question that arose from this search is number of ply's. We have
about 10 acres we mow, and it seems once a month or so we're needing
to repair a flat tire, from an unseen piece of metal, sharp stick,
etc. Is it worth the extra money (about $10 ea + shipping ~$20-30set)
for a 6ply vs a 2 or 4ply found locally? Will an extra ply have much
more puncture resistance? Obviously something like a nail is going in
no matter what, but in general.
Thanks.


The only time I've paid attention to "ply" was when I was going to use the
equipment for very heavy loads. I can't picture you loading up a mower very
heavy unless you are seriously overweight.
