GICOOL (2 Pack) 11x4.00-5 Tubeless Zero Turn Mower Tires, Riding Lawnmower Smooth Tread, 4 Ply

What It Is

A set of two 11x4.00-5 tubeless smooth-tread tires designed for zero-turn mowers and riding lawn tractors. The 4-ply rating and smooth profile make them suitable for hard, flat surfaces like pavement, gravel drives, and manicured lawns where you want minimal turf damage.

Fitment & Compatibility

Critical measurements to verify:

• Tire size: 11x4.00-5 (11" outer diameter, 4.00" width, fits a 5" rim)
• Rim width: Designed for 3.5" to 4.5" wide rims (most common on residential zero-turn front wheels)
• Bolt pattern/center hole: Not applicable – these are tire-only, no wheel included

Common fitment notes:

• Fits many Ariens, Husqvarna, Cub Cadet, John Deere, and Toro zero-turn front wheels (check your current tire sidewall – if it says 11x4.00-5, these are a direct swap)
• Will NOT fit if your mower uses 11x4.00-6, 13x5.00-6, or 15x6.00-6 tires (different rim diameter)
• OEM replacements: Works as a budget alternative to factory tires (e.g., Carlisle, Kenda), but the smooth tread differs from most OEM turf tires

What to check before buying:

1. Look at your current tire sidewall – must read 11x4.00-5.
2. Measure your rim width (inside to inside) – must be between 3.5" and 4.5".
3. Confirm your mower uses tubeless tires (most zero-turns do; if you have tubes in current tires, you can run these tubeless).

Key Things to Know

• Tread pattern: Smooth (no lugs) – excellent on hard pack and pavement, poor on wet grass slopes or mud. Not for off-road or hilly terrain.
• 4-ply rating: Moderate puncture resistance. Fine for residential use, but not as tough as 6-ply tires for heavy debris or rocky lots.
• Installation: Requires tire irons and some effort – these are tight on the rim. A bead seater or ratchet strap helps seat the bead for tubeless use. Consider paying a shop $10–$15 per tire unless you have experience.
• Price vs. value: At $20/tire, they’re roughly half the cost of name-brand equivalents (Carlisle, Kenda). Reviews consistently note good balance and smooth ride for the price.

Should You Buy It

Buy these if you need a cheap, direct replacement for worn front tires on a residential zero-turn mower that stays on flat lawns, drives, or pavement. They’re a solid value for the price, but skip them if you mow wet slopes, need aggressive traction, or want a 6-ply tire for rocky ground.
