Exmark recently launched its new Tractus tire and wheel combination at GIE+EXPO in Louisville, Ky. Designed to eliminate flat tires, Tractus is available as an accessory for select Exmark Lazer Z zero-turn mower models.

“In use, Tractus also provides more consistent ground pressure with a larger contact patch for reduced turf compaction and a better overall cut quality,” Jamie Briggs, director of marketing for Exmark, said.

Exmark designed the Tractus tire and wheel combination to offer a similar ride quality to a pneumatic tire. The tread design offers traction in a wide range of turf conditions, with reduced marking when turning on concrete.

The first availability of the tires is slated for early 2020 and Exmark will initially offer three Tractus versions for gasoline-powered Lazer Z models of different sizes.
