Carlisle HD Field Trax Tires
The Carlisle HD Field Trax is built for work and weekend utility, delivering confident traction and long service on ATVs, UTVs, and zero-turn mowers. Its sturdy carcass resists punctures and supports heavy loads, while the non-directional tread grips on hardpack, gravel, and turf. A rounded shoulder helps limit scuffing on lawns, and the stable footprint promotes even wear with a comfortable, easy-rolling ride. For chores, trail access, or grounds maintenance, it provides dependable performance without fuss.
Key Features and Specifications
The HD Field Trax balances grip, stability, and longevity with a robust casing that supports loads and resists punctures. Its lugged, non-directional tread delivers steady traction on hardpack, gravel, and turf, and a wide contact patch helps it track predictably and wear evenly. Rounded shoulders reduce scuffing on lawns and fields. Many sizes are tubeless, and ply ratings, load indexes, and inflation limits vary by size, so match them to your vehicle.
Performance on Different Terrain
On compacted dirt and gravel, the HD Field Trax puts down consistent drive and braking thanks to stable tread blocks and a broad footprint. On turf, the rounded shoulder and even pressure distribution help minimize tearing when you use smooth steering and throttle. It maintains usable traction in light mud or damp soil, but deep mud or winter conditions call for a more aggressive or seasonal tread. Keep pressures within the listed limits to protect ride comfort, grip, and wear.
Sizes and Fitment Guide
Popular HD Field Trax sizes include 24x12-12, 26x12-12, 25x13-9, 22x12-8, and 18x8.50-10, covering many ATV, UTV, and zero turn mower applications. Always confirm overall diameter, width, load capacity, and rim size in your owner manual or OE placard before ordering. Many sizes are tubeless, but if your wheel needs a tube, match tube size and valve type to the tire and rim. For staggered or wider rear mower setups, replace tires in axle pairs to keep handling consistent and preserve turf.
Price and Buying Options
HD Field Trax price varies by size and ply rating, with larger diameters and higher load capacities typically costing more. Common sizes such as 24x12-12 often deliver strong value. Check current price, availability, and delivery timing at checkout, and consider adding valve stems, tubes if needed, and mounting services. Buying a complete set can simplify installation and keep handling balanced, and support is available if you need help with fitment or total cost.
Installation and Maintenance Tips
Inspect rims for damage, clean bead seats, and replace valve stems before mounting. For tubeless sizes, use proper bead lubricant and seat the beads within the specified pressure limits. For tube-type setups, take care not to pinch the tube during installation. After mounting, torque wheel fasteners to spec and recheck after the first few hours of use. Maintain inflation within the range on the sidewall and in the vehicle manual, rotate or swap side to side where applicable, and store tires in a cool, dry place.
Carlisle Field Trax vs All Trail
Field Trax and All Trail are proven utility choices, but they emphasize different strengths. The HD Field Trax uses a more open, lugged pattern that bites on mixed surfaces, including turf, hardpack, and light mud, which suits chores and acreage with changing footing. The All Trail features a tighter, more uniform tread for stable, predictable handling on hard surfaces and maintained trails. If you want extra bite off the path or on soft ground, choose the HD Field Trax, and if you mainly run packed trails or pavement-like surfaces, consider the All Trail.
Which One Should You Choose?
Pick the HD Field Trax if your day mixes turf, dirt, and occasional mud, or if you need to protect lawns while keeping traction. Go with the All Trail if your routes are mostly hardpack, gravel, or paved paths where a tighter tread delivers a smooth, precise feel. When in doubt, start with your OEM fitment guidance and think about the softest surface you regularly encounter. Proper air pressure and load management will help either tire deliver its best mix of grip, comfort, and wear life.
