Carlisle Smooth 4.8-8
The Carlisle Smooth is an all season tire designed for lawn mowers and garden equipment. The optimal smooth tread provides traction in dry, wet, and light winter conditions, while the all season platform keeps the tire pliable in changing temperatures. This ensures the tire's year-round traction. The tire manages to closely follow the driving surface, utilizing the soft terrain traction throughout the drive. As a result, the ideal footprint prevents damage to the turf terrains. At the same time, the optimal tread design improves steering responsiveness and driving stability thanks to the continuous surface contact. All of these elements ensure the Carlisle Smooth's safe performance.
All season traction
Turf-friendly performance
Improved controllability
Quick and precise steering responses to the driver's commands are guaranteed, while the structure remains stable against driving pressure. The rounded shoulders enhance cornering and maneuvering. This combination of elements increases the driver's control over the vehicle and ensures a safe driving experience throughout the performance.
The smooth shoulder ensures better surface contact, which upgrades soft traction. This enables the tire to effectively avoid turf and grass damage, which promotes a field-friendly driving experience. The tire’s minimal tread design ensures a safer performance, making it excellent for garden applications.
They increase dry, wet, and winter-weather traction. This improves the tire's year-round traction.
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.

There might be discrepancies of sizes between brands and models of tires which have this size formatting. As the manufacturers only provide the tire width and the rim diameter with these tires, various brands and models will have size differences. In order to ensure the correct size is purchased, the overall tire diameter that is needed should be checked.
The Overall Diameter or O.D. advertised represents the tire's overall diameter in inches, once the tire has been properly inflated and mounted per the manufacturer's recommendation. This advertised number is provided to Priority Tire by the tire manufacturer.
Due to the acquisition by Carlstar Tires, Carlisle tires are now manufactured under the Carlstar banner. For this reason, some Carlisle tires might come with the Carlstar brand name stamped on their sidewalls.
