Forerunner LG04. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: Enhanced controllability; Turf-friendly performance; Versatile terrain traction; All season performance; . OVERVIEW: The Forerunner LG04 is an all season tire made for lawn mowers and other garden tractors.The tire also promotes exceptional controllability and driving stability on versatile terrain surfaces. The optimized tread elements enable the tire to upgrade steering responsiveness and driving stability, promoting better handling on various terrain surfaces. As a result, the tire guarantees exceptional steering response time and accuracy to the driver's commands, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure affecting the tire. The combination of these enhancements significantly boosts the driver's better control over the vehicle at all times.The tire offers great all season traction, optimizing its year-round performance. The detailed footprint and all weather compound work together to enhance its dry, wet, and winter-weather grip. The tread elements provide additional biting edges, while the compound keeps the rubber flexible in changing temperatures. The ideal groove placement prevents hydroplaning as well. Water and slush are dispersed, preventing them from cutting off the footprint's surface contact.This model upgrades the turf-friendly performance. The optimal soft traction of the tread design helps to effectively increase the tire's turf damage-free performance. The footprint eases the pressure off the surface, resisting turf damage. As a result, the tire is an excellent choice for lawn mowers and other garden applications.The Forerunner LG04 promotes great different terrain applications. This tread design improves performance on soft and loose turf terrains, as the tread firmly grips the driving surface to ensure a constant forward motion all the time. The combination of these tread features promotes superb on-road and turf performance.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.The photo is a representation of the tire's possible deformation, it does not represent the specific tire model, size, tread pattern and application.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.
