HORSESHOE FALABELLA 2 New 24x12.00-12 / 24x12-12 8PR T198 TURF-KING LAWN MOWER TIRES LRD Heavy Duty Color-Sidewall NHS (24x12.00-12 8Ply)

What It Is

The HORSESHOE FALABELLA 2 24x12.00-12 8PR tire is a heavy-duty, color-sidewall turf tire designed for zero-turn mowers, wide-area walk-behinds, and commercial lawn tractors that require a 24-inch diameter, 12-inch-wide tire on a 12-inch rim. Its 8-ply rating and LRD (Load Range D) construction make it suited for high-weight-capacity machines and rougher terrain where puncture resistance matters.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Size verification: Tire is 24 inches tall, 12 inches wide, fits a 12-inch rim. Confirm your existing tire size is exactly 24x12.00-12 (or 24x12-12). Do not assume it fits if your tire is 24x12-10 or 23x12-12.
• Load capacity: LRD (8-ply) rated for ~1,300 lbs per tire at 26 psi. Check your mower’s axle weight rating—this tire may be overkill for light residential decks but essential for heavy commercial units.
• Bolt pattern and offset: Tires are sold without rims. You must reuse your existing wheels/hubs. Verify your rim’s bolt pattern (usually 4x4 or 5x4.5) and offset—this tire’s profile works with most standard zero-turn rims, but measure your current rim’s width (should be 8.5–10 inches).
• Brand/model fit: Common on Toro, Exmark, Scag, John Deere, and Kubota zero-turns with 24-inch rear tires. Cross-reference your OEM part number (e.g., Turf-King T198 equivalent) against your mower’s manual.
• NHS (Not for Highway Service): Off-road only—do not use on public roads.

Key Things to Know

• Installation: Mounting a 24x12.00-12 tire on a rim requires a tire machine or significant hand effort. The stiff 8-ply sidewall makes bead seating difficult without proper tools. Budget for professional mounting if you lack experience.
• Color-sidewall care: The white letters/ribs are molded, not painted, but can stain from grass, mud, or chemicals. Clean with mild soap and water—avoid harsh tire dressings that may yellow.
• Weight and handling: At ~60 lbs per tire, these are heavy. Expect a stiffer ride on paved surfaces compared to 4-ply alternatives, but better stability and cut quality on slopes and uneven turf.
• Ply vs. load: 8-ply is overkill for a 500-lb residential mower but necessary for 1,200+ lb commercial units. Using a higher ply than needed reduces ride comfort and adds unsprung weight.

Should You Buy It

Buy this tire if you operate a heavy commercial zero-turn mower (over 1,000 lbs) on rough or debris-filled terrain and need maximum puncture resistance and load capacity. If your mower is a light residential model (under 700 lbs) or you only mow smooth lawns, a 4-ply or 6-ply tire will ride better and cost less.
