Highlights

  • Wider Footprint for Reduced Turf Impact: Helps spread the mower's weight to minimize ground pressure and support a smoother ride.
  • Aggressive Grip Without Turf Damage: Reaper tread helps reduce slippage without scuffing finished lawns.

  • Self-Cleaning Tread Design: Open spacing between lugs helps prevent debris from building up during use.

Features to Know About

Reaper Tread for Turf-Friendly Traction

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.

Wider Footprint for Stability and Ride Comfort

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.

Self-Cleaning Design for Consistent Performance

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.

Video Transcript for Review of Kenda Lawn Mower Tires - Riding/Zero-Turn Mower - KE96YJ

Hi everyone, Steve here with etrailer. Today we're looking at our Kenda K3012 Reaper lawnmower turf tire. It's gonna be 23 by 9.5 by 12 in a load range B. Folks, this has been designed for working smoothly with your zero turn mowers and lawn equipment used for regular turf care. And as you can see, it's got a little V in it because it's not inflated yet. That's normal.

You may get some of these that are squashed flat, potentially, maybe even misshaped. That's totally normal, just depends on how they strap 'em down when they ship 'em to us. But again, once you get it mounted and inflated, it's gonna pop right back out, no issues at all. And this Reaper tread, let's talk about that. This is really aggressive.

It's gonna help reduce slippage while still not scuffing those finished lawns. So, you can be confident whether you're on a slope or a hillside that this is gonna hold you in place. And it's also kind of like a self-cleaning tread design. So, the open space just helps prevent debris from building up. It's not gonna stick inside of there like some other tread patterns do.

Again, when inflated, overall, the section width is 9.72 inches and when inflated, 23.07 in the overall diameter. The max PSI, according to the sidewall of the tire, is 24 PSI max. And that will wrap up our quick look together folks at this Kenda K3012 Reaper lawnmower turf tire. I'm Steven, thanks for watching.

Super fast shipping. Had a problem ordering online on a Sunday so I called for help and Adam answered all my questions which fixed my issue.
by:
I decided to replace the aging 23x10.5-12 turf tires on my 18hp hydro lawn tractor. Being I have hilly terrain, my previous tires were often losing traction and even become completely stuck multiple times. That said I decided to purchase these tires and, due to their more aggressive tread, was hoping for better grip. After mowing 3 acres and hiking trails I can attest to the SIGNIFICANT improvement in traction. No slipping. I remain impressed and glad I bought them.
by:
For my Zero Turn Mower sit on top. Great tire choice for traction so far.Better than my agricultural tread for all around traction. Agriculture tread was best to go up hill, however they slid sideways (Dangerous), and had very little traction going down hills (Very Dangerous). Agriculture tread also tore up my lawn unless speed was not of the essence. These are a best compromise for traction and tearing up the lawn. Some damage if you rush, however for safety first, buy these. The best and safest idea is a walk behind mower if you have hills.
by:
They have excellent grip on hillsides but are a smaller overall diameter than the stock 24 x 9.50 -12 turfmaster tires. I now have to change my cutting height to account for the smaller tire.
by:
These were hard to find on the internet and impossible locally but low and behold, Kayleigh came through and I was right back to mowing these steep hills,... Saint Louis to Melvin Village, NH in three days,...I couldn't be happier,...Thanks Etrailer!
by:
Can’t rate the product yet, they’re rear tires for a JD garden tractor, they usually rot before ya wear ‘em out, but damn these look beefy!
Beyond that (and I seldom leave reviews) above all others this was the best online experience I’ve ever had! Seriously. I placed the order on a Sunday afternoon, got notified that same day that they shipped and were expected to be at my door on Thursday. They were. Missouri to Montana in 4 days time! Breanna knows customer service and knows how to communicate.
