Antego Tire & Wheel - (Single) 22x9.50-12 Tire & Wheel Assemblies | Compatible with Various John Deere Models | JD Yellow | Tubeless | 4 Ply # GY20663

What It Is

This is a complete 22x9.50-12 tire and wheel assembly (single) designed for zero-turn and lawn tractors, specifically compatible with various John Deere models. It’s a tubeless, 4-ply rated tire meant for rear-wheel replacement on mowers requiring a 12-inch rim and 22-inch diameter tire.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Models: Fits many John Deere Z-Trak, X-Series, and other models (e.g., Z445, Z465, X590, X700 series) that use 22x9.50-12 tires with a 12-inch wheel. Also fits some Exmark and Toro zero-turns with the same size.
• Measurements: Verify your mower’s original tire size is exactly 22x9.50-12. The wheel bolt pattern is 4-on-4 inches (4 lugs, 4-inch bolt circle). Measure center hole diameter (typically 3.5 inches) and offset (usually 3.5 inches backside) to confirm fit.
• OEM vs Aftermarket: This is an aftermarket replacement, not John Deere OEM. It uses JD yellow paint but may differ slightly in shade. Check that the valve stem location doesn’t interfere with your mower’s frame or brake components.
• What to Check Before Buying: Confirm your current tire size, wheel bolt pattern (4x4), center bore, and offset. Measure the axle hub diameter and ensure the rim’s center hole matches.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: 4-ply rating means decent puncture resistance for residential use, but not heavy-duty for commercial rough terrain.
• Installation: Bolts directly onto the hub with standard lug nuts (not included). No tire mounting or balancing needed—it’s a pre-assembled unit.
• Common Gotchas: The JD yellow may not perfectly match older or faded OEM wheels. Some users report the valve stem is angled, making air checks slightly awkward. Always check that the offset matches your mower to avoid rubbing.
• Tubeless Design: No inner tube required, but ensure the rim bead seals properly before airing up.

Should You Buy It

This is a solid choice if you need a single replacement rear tire for a residential zero-turn or lawn tractor in the 22x9.50-12 size, especially if you want a color-matched JD yellow look without paying OEM prices. It’s not for commercial use or rough terrain—stick with a 6-ply tire if you mow on rocks or slopes. Verify fitment carefully, and you’ll get a hassle-free swap.
