When I bought it, somebody had replaced the turfs with Ag tread, and now that I'm using it to mow, the Ag's were too much for my yard. Not to mention they probably weren't exactly right diameter to match the rear turfs properly for 4WD use. Bought the last set of two in stock from Pete's Tire Barn. Bridgestone part #344699, Farm Service Diamond Turf Tread size 6-12, $264 shipped. By the way, Morrow Tire Supply has 2 sets, with tubes, on ebay for $308 shipped. Had searched around for a while, considered using used 155/80R12 automotive tires, which is close in size, but they aren't especially common either. I didn't want to pay about $50 apiece for new tires that still weren't exactly right. Since the Bridgestones aren't getting any easier to find, I just decided not to waste any more time and pulled the trigger. Don't know what I'll do if I have to replace the rear 9.5-18's. Mine are weather-checked, but no problems so far. While I had an apparently knowledgeable and helpful guy on the phone at Pete's, I asked him to check on the 9.5-18's. As I think I've read on here before, Firestone has no stock anywhere.
