    Features and Benefits

    We found these tires to be very tough during our Carlstar Turf Pro Plus R-3 tire review. Built with a strong sidewall, they’re fully capable of withstanding abuse on different types of turf. A ply rating of 8 enables them to handle heavy loads without losing shape. Some of the areas in which these tires can be used include golf courses, general turf environments, and cemeteries. The following features and benefits will help you decide whether to purchase them or not:

    • Great flotation: This tire is responsible for excellent flotation since it displays high surface contact with isolated tread elements.
    • The ground remains in good condition: As the innovative tread design works its magic, you can ensure the ground will remain in good condition.
    • Tremendous traction: This tire has a massive tread depth that brings a lot of rubber into contact with the turf and leads to great traction.
    • Turf-friendly: These tires are turf-friendly, which means that they cause minimal damage to the ground.
    • Suitable for all weather conditions: These tires are perfectly capable of traction and handling throughout the year, in different weather conditions. In other words, you won’t have to change tires while driving in the rain or light winter weather.
    • Tough tires: As these tires can tolerate an air pressure of up to 45 psi, it means that they are built tough. Compared to this, the maximum pressure in a regular tire is about 40 psi.
