Carlisle Super Lug Tires
Built for grip when the ground gets soft, the Carlisle Super Lug delivers classic bar-lug traction for lawn and garden tractors, compact equipment, and utility implements. Its directional, self-cleaning tread digs into soil and mud to keep your machine moving with confident forward drive. A sturdy casing stands up to cuts and impacts common around yards and jobsites. If you need extra bite for slopes, wet soil, or loose terrain, the Super Lug is a proven, no-nonsense choice.
Features and Specifications
The Super Lug uses a directional bar-lug pattern for traction in soft ground. Open channels between the lugs shed mud and debris to preserve bite as conditions change. The durable casing supports everyday loads and helps resist punctures from thorns, sticks, and rocks. Mount the tire with the directional arrows pointing in the rolling direction to maximize forward grip. Available in popular lawn and garden sizes, it delivers reliable performance for demanding yard and utility work.
Sizes and Fitment Guide
Choose the Super Lug size that matches your equipment specs and wheels. Popular drive sizes include 20x10-8, 23x10.5-12, and 26x12-12. Always match rim diameter and verify section width and overall diameter for fender and chassis clearance. Some sizes are offered tubeless, and tubes can be used when rims are not airtight. For best traction, install matched pairs on drive axles and follow the directional arrows during mounting.
Where the Super Lug Excels
The Carlisle Super Lug shines on machines that need extra bite in loose or wet conditions. Typical uses include garden tractors, tillers, trenchers, small loaders, and compact utility attachments. Deep, widely spaced bars dig into soft soil, damp turf, mud, and light snow to maintain forward motion and hill-climbing confidence. Because the aggressive lugs can scuff manicured lawns, use them where traction matters most and avoid tight turns on delicate turf. It is intended for off-road work at typical lawn and garden speeds, not sustained highway travel.
Pricing and How to Buy
Pricing for the Super Lug varies by size and spec. Larger diameters and wider sections generally cost more, and availability can affect lead times. Select your size and quantity to see current price, stock status, and shipping options at checkout. Buy in pairs for drive axles, confirm rim diameter and clearance before ordering, and if replacing a single tire, match tread direction and overall diameter with the opposite side.
Carlisle Super Lug vs Alternatives
Choosing among lugged lawn and garden tires comes down to how aggressive you need the tread to be and how much turf disturbance you can accept. The Super Lug delivers classic bar-lug traction for soft ground and slopes in popular garden tractor sizes. If you often see deep mud or need heavier duty options, compare details like tread depth, ply rating, casing construction, and available sizes across other lug families. If protecting turf is the priority, look at less aggressive patterns that reduce scuffing while still improving traction over standard turf treads.
Care, Pressure, and Longevity Tips
Set inflation to your equipment manufacturer's recommendation and treat the sidewall maximum as the upper limit. Check pressures cold and keep both sides on a drive axle equal. For soft ground, run within the approved range, never below the minimum, so more lug area engages the soil. Mount with the directional arrows set for forward drive. Inspect for cuts, embedded debris, or uneven wear, and store clean and dry out of direct sun during the off-season. If wear patterns develop, rotate side to side while keeping tread direction correct after rotation.
What owners say about the Super Lug
Owners of lugged lawn and garden tires like the Super Lug often report strong forward bite in soft soil, better hill climbing, and confident pulling for attachments. The open bars clear mud well, though the aggressive pattern can mark delicate turf and ride more firmly than turf-style treads. Many users value the sturdy feel around rocks, roots, and debris. Buyers consistently suggest confirming size, installing matched pairs on the drive axle, and setting pressures per the equipment manual to balance traction and footprint.
