What 26.5x14.00-12 means

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

  • 26.5Overall diameterThe tire stands about 26.5 inches tall when inflated and unloaded.
  • 14.00Section widthAbout 14 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 26.5x14.00-12 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.

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.
