Michelin Tweels for z530r

2445 Views 4 Replies 3 Participants Last post by  ZoomerHD
Reaching out to forum for feedback for advise. Looking to switch to Tweels on z530r. Michelin does not have model in their current fitment guide but my zero turn is running the same size tire as the z540r, 23 x 10.5-12 which shows a Tweel size available. My dealer has not responded as yet with a definite answer. Below is from Michelin Tweel's fitment quide: Ztrak Z540R 54 23x10.5-12 24x12N12 X-Tweel Turf 50357. Kindly share thoughts on fitment.

You just might luck out by contacting your nearest JD dealer, to see if they have couple (size you need) that was removed from a Zero turn where the buyer didn't want them on his tractor. Couple years ago, my JD dealer had a set 24" x 11" -12 for $125.00 each that that they removed from a Z950m.
Myself, I wouldn't spend the money(cost) for my Z710A, which has the 24" x 12" rims tires that may help some on the mowing impact.

Not sure why Michelin is listing the 540R. I have one and they don't make a Tweel for it yet in 23x10.5-12. The closest size is the 24x11-12, which I think will physically fit, but require complete readjustment of the mower deck because of the extra inch of height in the rear. I actually changed my Carlisle Turfsavers over to Rhox ATV tires because wife and I both hated the grip of the Turfs with any moisture on the grass.

Im looking for the Tweels compliance, grip has been fine for me on stock tires. Deck adjustment may be necessary depending on measured tire comparison. Thanks.

I'd make sure of my clearance all the way around, but if that's ok and you're savvy enough to adjust the deck front/rear level, then I don't see any reason you couldn't just use the 24x11-12 Tweels. Our bigger tractors all offer at least a couple of different sizes and you don't have the issue of matching front to rear without MFWD.
