The 26x12x12 tires will likely be shorter than Carlisle tires of same size markings & likely a tad narrower, but good tires still. You're gonna love those v61's!
my buddys 400 has a set of these nanco tires and the bars are a little closer and doesnt seem to tear the yard up as bad . and those tru power tires are just to high . i looked at them on ebay and they where 199 each . im going to get tubes and fluid put in them .

Glad you know there are differences, but like I said, great tires & great price! I run fluid tubeless, but always paint my rims nice inside first. 20% methanol, 70% water, 10% antifreeze.
I love new tires, best part about getting a new truck, the wife knows I gonna get new tires. I agree with Kenny, these lawn tractor tires are just silly expensive. I really don't see where the price is. $200 a tire? I get my 33's for less than that and that is mounted and all. And I am not talking about regular car tires these are off-road mud tires. I just don't see the cost, they don't have much of a load or speed rating.
It is just like when you were a kid and you got new sneakers and you thought they made you run faster. Now the John Deere 400 is going to do everything faster

I'm curious to know how you came up with the fluid formula you use. Do you use ethylene glycol or propylene glycol(plumbing antifreeze). I don't think I would ever use conventional antifreeze as it is extremely toxic to animals if you spring a leak. Do you need freeze protection in Kentucky? I wish they had rim guard up here but the only option offered by dealers is Calcium chloride solution. I guess it would be too expensive to ship rim guard up here.

The formula the tire shops use is just 1 part methanol to 4 parts water. This is all the freeze protection needed. I use the 10% antifreeze (std engine antifreeze) for the corrosion inhibitors, just for insurance. The tire shops say the water/methonol won't corrode the rims in tubeless situations, but I like an added protection from the corrosion inhibitors in the A/F. Rubbing alcohol may work just as well, and readily available, but can be as low as 68% true isopropanol alcohol, the balance being water.
Edited to add: Yep, I'd say we need freeze protection. I remember one winter we hit 22 below 0F with windchill of 40-some below.
Yea...sadly mine needs new shoes also...:wallbanging:
