What 23x9.50-12 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.
  • 9.50Section widthAbout 9.5 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.

Equivalent sizes

The equivalent of 23x9.50-12 in the other construction is 240/60R12. Bias and radial versions stand close to the same height but are built differently, so tell us which one you run.

Size is only half the answer

Two 23x9.50-12 tires can be built for very different jobs. Tread decides most of it: a turf tread protects the lawn, a lug or bar tread digs in, and a sawtooth or stud tread is for snowblowers and loose ground. Ply rating matters too if the machine carries a load. Tell us the machine and what it does and we'll match it.

Other sizes on a 12" wheel

These share your rim diameter. Whether one of them will actually work depends on rim width, load range and fender clearance. Ask us before you switch.

23x9.50-12 questions, answered

23: The tire stands about 23 inches tall when inflated and unloaded. 9.50: About 9.5 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.

It depends on the machine and the ground. Turf treads are for mowing without tearing up the grass, lug and bar treads are for traction in dirt and on slopes, and sawtooth or stud treads suit snowblowers. Tell us what the machine does and we'll point you at the right one.

We carry 22x9.50-12, 23x8.50-12, 23x10.50-12, 24x9.50-12, 24x12.00-12, 24x13.00-12, 26x12.00-12, 26.5x14.00-12 in the same 12-inch wheel diameter. Sharing a rim diameter doesn't guarantee a swap will work, though. Rim width, load range and clearance all have to line up. Call (320) 363-7246 and we'll tell you straight whether a change makes sense.

They're equivalent sizes. 23x9.50-12 and 240/60R12 fit the same wheel diameter and stand close to the same height, but bias and radial tires are built differently, so they shouldn't be mixed on one axle without checking. Tell us which one you run and we'll match it.

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.
