the tires in question were 16x8" front tires off a old Deere riding mower..small ones are a PITA...so I cut the old ones off with the bandsaw and a sawzall,careful not to nick the wheel..they were original on the tractor from 1969, stiff as a board and dry rotted, i'd been running them without wind in them for years..finally the sidewall gave out on one at the start of mowing season this year so I decided it's time to replace them..repacked the wheel bearings and she's back in service now with some fresh yellow Deere painted wheels..lookin sassy
