    I think mine calls for 45 .
    If you have 35 -45-50 and just move it around the yard that thing is not going to know the difference.
    I would be a little more concerned if I was towing it down the road. Even 35 is plenty for doing that and might actually help a little on the bumps since there is no suspension.

    The tires I have seen from china have things spelled wrong, so it could be pis, spi. Sip, etc…

    I put full size tires on mine. Pretty sure they are 15”. Just regular car tires. It rolls real easy and is at a good working height. Goes down the road pretty good too.

    I got a flat on the bobcat last week and plugged the hole, then noticed the sidewall was all cracked and leaking like a sieve. Bought a $20 can of slime and ran it for an hour. the next day it was flat again. The bottle did say not to use for sidewalls. Oh well. Filled it up and ran it for a while and then it held air. Guess it just took a while to fill all those holes. I need to put new tires on the front, but they are still working.

    its better to pay extra for tires. Pay twice as much and use em for 10 years instead of two years.

    I was buying the tractor supply 30 dollar tires for my wagon. Was lucky to get a year out of em. Bought 4 at 95 dollars each and they are doing great. They done even leak air.

    Yep, DHT 10 years old tires never lost air. Also agree on the rest of the components. Replaced and fixed a lot of broken things on it. The Kohler engine is an exception. As long as you never leave it with no gas or turn off the petcock it fires up usually on the first pull. Matter of fact I started it last over a year ago, had been sitting for two or three years untouched. Flipped the switch on and fired up first pull and ran just fine, old gas and all.
