Rotary 5552. CHAIN TIRE 410-4 MAXTRAC

What It Is

The Rotary 5552 CHAIN TIRE 410-4 MAXTRAC is a 4.10/3.50-4 inch pneumatic (air-filled) replacement tire with a chain-style tread pattern, designed for walk-behind lawn mowers, garden tractors, and small utility equipment needing extra traction on soft or uneven terrain.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Tire size: 4.10/3.50-4 (also fits 4.00-4 or 3.50-4 rims). Verify your current tire’s sidewall markings; this is not universal for all mower wheels.
• Rim compatibility: Fits standard 4-inch diameter rims. Check your rim’s width and bolt pattern—most mowers use a 3/4-inch or 5/8-inch center hole, but measure yours to be safe.
• Brand/model: No OEM-specific fit; it’s a universal aftermarket replacement. Common on Murray, MTD, Craftsman, and similar models with 4-inch tires. Not for zero-turn or large riding mowers.
• Load rating: Rated for light to medium loads (up to ~150 lbs per tire). Not for heavy commercial use or high-speed towing.

Key Things to Know

• Traction vs. turf damage: The chain tread grips well in mud, grass, and loose soil but can chew up delicate lawns or leave marks on pavement. Best for rough, off-road conditions.
• Installation: Moderate difficulty. You’ll need to remove the wheel, deflate the old tire, and seat the new one on the rim. A tire lever and air compressor help. Not tubeless—requires an inner tube (check if included; often sold separately).
• Durability: Users report decent lifespan for residential use, but sidewalls are thinner than premium brands. Avoid over-inflating (max pressure ~30 PSI) or hitting curbs.
• Common gotcha: Some rims have offset or non-standard hubs. If your mower uses a keyed or splined axle, this tire alone won’t fit—you need the complete wheel assembly, not just the tire.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you need a budget-friendly, aggressive-tread replacement for a 4-inch mower tire on uneven or muddy ground and you’re comfortable mounting it yourself. Skip it if you want a smooth ride on lawns or need a complete wheel assembly with a specific hub pattern.
