Rims rusted apart so i need a new tire and rim, it has the Carlisle Turfsave 20 x 10.00-8, 2 ply tubeless tires. Their part number of "5111011" I just cant find anywhere that has both a tire and rim for a decent price? Do the tires alone really cost $90?? And could i put a bit over sized tires without an issue(of course if they would fit) and would I be able to find these slightly larger tires cheaper possibly?? Just want to know if theres anywhere you would recommend that I look for a tire and rim for the best price.

Not sure changing size will work well....puts a different pitch on the mower deck, and maybe a clearance problem.

Might look for a mower junkyard, or someone who fixes old ones. I have
a guy here with a graveyard of old machines. I found two sets of wheels not
long ago for an old mower I was fixing. Came with a couple good, and a couple rotted tires, but one had a set of wheel weights as a bonus. Not bad for $30.

Try Ebay. I saw tire and wheel assemblies for the mower in question at reasonable prices.
