Carlisle Reliance Smooth. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: Enhanced controllability; Upgraded traction; Turf friendly performance; . OVERVIEW: The Carlisle Reliance Smooth is an all season tire manufactured for lawn mowers and other garden equipment vehicles.The tire improves the all weather traction. The smooth tread design, which does not have any specific tread elements, improves the surface contact. The larger footprint and the constant surface contact enhance the tire's traction and forward motion in various conditions. In this manner, the tire can safely perform throughout its lifetime.The upgraded surface contact also enhances the model's controllability. The larger footprint with the smooth pattern increases the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. The steering becomes faster and more precise in its response to the driver's commands, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the model. This guarantees the driver's full control over the vehicle at all times.The Reliance Smooth boosts the soft traction with its tread pattern. The smooth tread design optimizes the surface contact and enables the tire to perform without harming the turf or grass field. As the tire does not damage the turf field, it is perfect for garden equipment application.This is a bias ply tire. Due to the tire's internal construction and size, it is possible that the tire will look deformed. Smaller bias ply tires do not have reinforced constructions that can keep the tire from deforming. The bias construction and the small tire's non-reinforced internal structure allow the tire to fold in when it is deflated or not properly inflated. This is not constructional damage or an issue; it is a normal occurrence with such tires. In such cases, the tire needs to be mounted and inflated to the proper PSI or, in some instances, an inner tube needs to be added. The proper PSI and the inner tube are able to maintain the tire's ideal shape, preventing the bias plies from looking deformed. This ensures their performing safety and durability.

This specific tire model features a BIASED ply construction. Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
