Carlisle Ultra Trac 29/14.00-15 C

What It Is

The Carlisle Ultra Trac 29/14.00-15 C is a heavy-duty, 4-ply rated turf tire designed for zero-turn mowers, commercial lawn tractors, and large-area mowing equipment. It provides high flotation and reduced ground pressure to minimize turf damage on soft or wet grass.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Rim size: Requires a 15-inch diameter rim with a 10-inch width (10.00-15). Verify your existing rim width matches.
• Tire dimensions: 29 inches tall, 14 inches wide. Measure clearance on your mower deck, frame, and front caster arms—especially on tight zero-turn models.
• Load capacity: 1,495 lbs per tire at 20 psi. Check your mower’s total weight and axle rating.
• Brand/model fit: Common on commercial zero-turns from John Deere, Kubota, Toro, Scag, and Ferris. Not universal—measure first.
• OEM vs aftermarket: Carlisle is a leading OEM supplier, but confirm your machine’s original tire size code (29/14.00-15) matches exactly. Some older models use 26x12.00-12 or 27x12.00-15.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: 4-ply nylon carcass with a deep, self-cleaning tread pattern. Excellent durability on gravel, pavement, and turf. Sidewall is stiff—expect a firmer ride than cheaper 2-ply tires.
• Installation difficulty: Moderate. Requires tire irons and bead seater if mounting on a rim. Tubeless design; check valve stem condition. Best done by a shop unless you have experience with heavy-duty lawn tires.
• Common gotchas: The 29-inch diameter can rub on mower decks with limited clearance—measure before buying. Also, higher weight may require adjusting tire pressure to avoid scalping on uneven terrain.
• Price point: At ~$395, it’s a premium tire. Competing brands (Kenda, Titan) offer similar specs near $300–$350. The Carlisle name carries a reliability premium.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you run a commercial zero-turn mower on mixed terrain (turf, gravel, dirt) and need a tough, long-lasting tire that won’t tear up lawns. It’s overkill for residential mowers with small decks or light use—you’ll save money with a standard 26x12.00-12 turf tire.
