Choosing the right tires for your lawn mower or garden equipment is critical for performance and safety. The 11×4.00-5 and 11-4.00-5 tire sizes are industry favorites for small machinery due to their compact design and robust load capacity. In this guide, we’ll analyze why the Pro Easy 11×4.00-5 Lawn & Garden Tires outperform competitors, with a focus on engineering specs, real-world applications, and maintenance best practices.


Why 11×4.00 and 11-4.00 Tires Dominate Small Equipment

1. Load Capacity: Built for Heavy-Duty Tasks

The 325 lbs max load of 11×4.00-5 tires is achieved through:

  • 4-Ply Rating (4PR TL): Radial nylon layers resist punctures from rocks and debris.
  • Reinforced Sidewalls: 104 mm width distributes weight evenly, reducing soil compaction.

Ideal For:

  • Commercial lawn mowers (slopes up to 15° incline)
  • Garden carts hauling mulch/soil (up to 1,300 lbs total on 4 tires)

2. Interchangeable Sizing: 11×4.00-5 vs. 11-4.00-5

  • Myth Busted: The “x” and “-” in sizing (e.g., 11×4.00-5 vs. 11-4.00-5) denote the same dimensions.
  • Pro Easy Compatibility: Fits all 5″ rims with 3″ width, including John Deere, Husqvarna, and Craftsman models.
