Built for zero-turn mowers and hilly yards, the K3012 Reaper Turf tire provides added grip where standard turf tires slip, while staying easy on grass. It helps your mower feel steady and predictable through every pass.
Standard turf tires can lose grip when mowing slopes or making tight turns. The K3012 Reaper tread helps reduce slip while staying easy on grass, so finished lawns don't get torn up.
The broader stance helps spread the mower's weight more evenly across the turf. This reduces ground pressure and helps the mower feel more stable, especially during longer mowing sessions or on uneven ground.
Grass clippings and debris can pack into tight tread patterns and affect traction. The open spacing between the Reaper lugs helps clear material as you mow, keeping grip more consistent and reducing interruptions, so turns stay clean and hills feel controlled from start to finish.

Hi, everybody, Andy here with etrailer. Let's take a quick look together at this Kenda K3012 Reaper Lawn Mower Turf Tire. Now, you're probably looking at this tire and wondering what in the world is wrong with this tire. Are we selling defective tires No, we're not. But what I'm wanting to show you here is this is probably how your tire is going to arrive from us simply because it is not mounted on a wheel and inflated. A lot of times tires are shipped to us wrapped up tightly on a pallet, and so this is what they're going to look like when we get them off the pallet.
And this is more than likely what you're going to get. So I just wanna let you know that once you get this tire mounted and inflated, it's going to air right up and it will no longer be deformed or lopsided as you see here. So you won't be getting a pyramid tire rather than a round one. So just wanted to let you know right up front what to expect so you don't think that we're giving you defective tires. But this tire is made specifically for your zero-turn mowers and lawn tractors that are used every day for turf care, whether that's around a home or in a commercial setting.
The big advantage is a wider footprint, which is gonna help spread the mower's weight more evenly. That means less ground pressure on the lawn, a smoother ride, and fewer chances of leaving ruts or marks behind. As far as specs go, this is going to fit on an 8-inch by 7-inch wheel. And as we have stamped here on our tire, this is an 18x18.5x8 tire size tire with an overall inflated diameter of about 17.8 inches. The section width is gonna be about 8.5 inches.
It's a 4-ply load range B bias ply tire that doesn't require a tube, and it can handle up to 815 pounds. Again, that's 8-1-5, 815 pounds at speeds up to 10 miles per hour with a maximum air pressure of 22 PSI. So the tread is designed to strike a nice balance between traction and lawn protection. It has an aggressive reaper tread that's gonna give you solid grip, especially helpful on slopes and uneven ground, without tearing up finished grass. So this is gonna give you confident control on hillsides without worrying about scuffing or damaging the turf.
Another nice feature is the self-cleaning tread design. The open spacing between the lugs is gonna help dirt, grass, and debris clear out as you mow, so traction's gonna stay consistent instead of getting packed up. Overall, this is going to be a solid choice if you want good traction, lawn-friendly performance, and dependable support or residential or commercial towing. Just keep in mind that this is designed strictly for turf use, and not for highway driving, so keep it on the grass. If you happen to have any other questions, whether it's about this tire or anything else that we have here at etrailer, don't hesitate to reach out. We wanna make sure that you're getting exactly what you need. Well, again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.
