What 23x8.50-12 means

Every number on the sidewall is telling you something. Here's this one, decoded:

  • 23Overall diameterThe tire stands about 23 inches tall when inflated and unloaded.
  • 8.50Section widthAbout 8.5 inches across the widest part of the tire.
  • –ConstructionBias-ply. The plies run diagonally, which gives a stiff, tough sidewall.
  • 12Wheel diameterFits a 12-inch wheel. This is the number that has to match your rim exactly.

Size is only half the answer

Two 23x8.50-12 tires can be built for very different work. Ply or star rating sets how much load each tire carries, and the tread code (R-4 industrial, L-2 traction, L-3 rock and so on) sets the ground it's built for. Tell us the machine and the work it does, and we'll match the tire to the job, not just the numbers.

23x8.50-12 questions, answered

23: The tire stands about 23 inches tall when inflated and unloaded. 8.50: About 8.5 inches across the widest part of the tire. –: Bias-ply. The plies run diagonally, which gives a stiff, tough sidewall. 12: Fits a 12-inch wheel. This is the number that has to match your rim exactly. Altogether that works out to roughly 23 inches of overall diameter.

The size has to match, but so do the ply or star rating and the tread. A machine working pavement and concrete wants a different tread than one in mud or a gravel pit, even in the same size. Tell us the machine and what it works on and we'll steer you to the right tire.

It's made as both. 23x8.50-12 is a size, not a build. The same numbers are produced in constructions aimed at different jobs, with different load ranges and tread designs. We carry it on the construction & OTR side and the lawn mower & garden and agricultural & farm side, so tell us what it's going on and we'll point you at the right one. Call (320) 363-7246 if you're not sure which you need.

Stock moves, so the honest answer is to check. Send us the size through the availability request on this page or call (320) 363-7246. We'll tell you what we have on the shelf, what load ranges are available and how fast we can get anything we'd need to order.
