(2) OTR Ribbed 11x4.00-5 Tires 4 Ply Lawn Mower Garden Tractor 11x4x5

What It Is

This is a pair of OTR 11x4.00-5 ribbed tires designed for lawn mowers, garden tractors, and small utility vehicles. The ribbed tread pattern provides low rolling resistance and stable steering on flat, even terrain, making them ideal for front caster or steer positions.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, check three things: tire size, rim size, and application. These tires are 11 inches tall, 4 inches wide, and fit a 5-inch rim diameter (11x4.00-5). Measure your current tire’s sidewall markings—if it says 11x4.00-5, these will fit. They are aftermarket replacements for common OEM tires on brands like John Deere, MTD, Husqvarna, Craftsman, and Troy-Bilt. They will not fit rims with a different diameter (e.g., 4.10/3.50-4 or 13x5.00-6). Also verify your rim width (typically 3.5 to 4.5 inches) is compatible—these tires are designed for a 3.5- to 4.5-inch wide rim.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: OTR tires are budget-friendly but durable; 4-ply rating means good puncture resistance for light residential use. Ribbed tread wears faster on rough terrain than turf or knobby tires.
• Installation: Mounting is DIY with tire irons and a bead seater, but stiff sidewalls make it harder than standard tires. Consider having a shop mount them if you’re not experienced.
• Tube vs. Tubeless: These are tubeless tires, but they can be used with tubes if your rims have holes or damage. Check rim condition before mounting.
• Load capacity: Each tire supports up to ~300 lbs at 20 PSI, more than enough for most lawn tractors.

Should You Buy It

Yes, if you need reliable, low-cost replacement front tires for a residential lawn tractor and you’re comfortable with basic DIY installation. The ribbed tread is excellent for flat mowing—it won’t tear up turf—but not for muddy or hilly terrain. Skip these if you require high-flotation or aggressive traction.
