Carlisle Turf Trac R/S Turf Tire
Made for lawns and landscapes, the Carlisle Turf Trac R/S delivers traction while protecting delicate grass. Its rounded shoulder spreads contact to cut down on scuffing in tight turns, and the turf-friendly tread keeps steady bite on grass, hardpack, and light slopes. A durable bias casing stands up to daily mowing and hauling on residential, commercial, and golf course equipment. This NHS, non-highway service, tire is tuned for off-road grounds care, giving a smooth ride and dependable wear across popular lawn and garden sizes.
Features that protect your turf and keep you moving
The Turf Trac R/S is engineered for grip without gouging. Its turf-friendly tread maintains traction on grass and packed soil, and the rounded shoulders cut turf damage during tight maneuvers. A tuned contact patch spreads pressure for smooth rolling and even wear. The durable bias-ply casing shrugs off impacts and supports typical mower and garden tractor loads with stability. Many sizes are tubeless for easy upkeep, and multiple ply ratings let you match your workload. The payoff is reliable performance and a clean finish on the lawn.
Sizes, fitment, and specs
The Turf Trac R/S covers popular lawn and garden fitments for riding mowers, zero-turns, and garden tractors. Representative sizes include 15x6.00-6, 18x8.50-8, 20x8.00-8, 20x10.00-8, 22.5x10-8, 23x8.50-12, and 23x10.50-12, availability varies. Most sizes are tubeless and offered in multiple ply ratings. Always match load capacity, rim width, and overall diameter to your equipment. This is an NHS, non-highway service, tire for off-road use only. For best results, verify size, load, and inflation specs on the OE label, manual, or wheel well decal before ordering.
Performance for lawns, estates, and golf course duty
On healthy turf, the Turf Trac R/S delivers predictable traction for mowing, bagging, and light towing. Rounded shoulders help reduce scuffing in turns, and the multi-directional tread edges aid control on gentle slopes and damp grass. A compliant carcass supports a smooth ride at typical mower speeds and promotes even wear when properly inflated. For safety and longevity, use the pressure specified by the equipment maker, limit pavement use, and slow down on wet grass or steep grades; as an NHS tire, it is not intended for highway travel or sustained high speeds.
Pricing and value
Price depends on size, ply rating, and whether you choose tire only or a pre-mounted tire and wheel assembly. Smaller front sizes are usually the most affordable, while wider rear drive sizes and higher ply ratings cost more. For best value, match load capacity and size to your equipment, replace in pairs on drive axles for consistent traction, and add a new valve stem or wheel if corrosion is present.

Turf Trac R/S vs popular turf options
Compared with Carlisle Turf Saver, the Turf Trac R/S leans on a rounder shoulder to further limit scuffing in tight turns. Versus Carlisle Turf Master, which uses a more robust tread for heavier duty, the Turf Trac R/S aims for a balance of turf care and everyday traction. Against Kenda K500 Super Turf and similar patterns, differences come down to tread shape, shoulder design, and size availability. Choose the Turf Trac R/S when preserving grass finish is a priority on residential lawns, estates, or golf course grounds while still needing reliable, low-impact traction.
Installation and maintenance tips
Before mounting, confirm rim width and bead seat condition, and replace cracked or bent wheels. Install new valve stems and use approved bead lubricant. Inflate to the pressure recommended by the equipment maker and recheck after 24 hours. During mowing season, inspect weekly for punctures and even wear, and rotate side to side on non-directional setups to extend life.
Avoid sharp turns on saturated turf and reduce speed on slopes. Store equipment in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and petroleum products. For tube-type setups, choose the correct tube size and avoid pinching during install.
