Falken Carlisle Multi-Trac C/S 26x12-12 lawn & garden paddle-tread tire — wide flotation, traction for soft soil

The Falken Carlisle Multi-Trac C/S 26x12-12 is a heavy-duty lawn-and-garden paddle-tread tire designed for traction, flotation, and universal fit on 12-inch rims — tire only, rim not included.

Built for groundskeeping, utility carts, and compact turf equipment, this Carlisle Multi-Trac C/S offers a wide footprint and paddle-style lugs to move through soft soil, sand, and turf with reduced compaction. Manufactured in the United States and packaged for safe shipment, the 26x12-12 size is a common replacement option for lawn and garden machines that need improved flotation and traction without sacrificing a smooth ride.

How does this tire improve traction on soft surfaces?

The paddle or "multi-trac" lug pattern lifts and propels material instead of digging in, giving a balance of grip and minimal turf damage. That design helps equipment move more steadily over mud, sand, and loose soil while maintaining forward purchase.

• Paddle-style lugs deliver forward push without excessive turf tearing
• Wide 26x12 footprint spreads load to reduce sinkage
• Durable rubber compound resists cuts and abrasions encountered in yards

Will this fit my equipment and what’s included?

This listing is for the tire only; a rim is not supplied. The package is specified as a universal fit type, commonly compatible with many 12-inch wheel assemblies used on lawn and garden machinery. Always verify bead diameter and rim width before purchase.

• Size: 26x12-12 — fits 12-inch rims with appropriate width
• Tire only: no rim included in the box
• Check your machine’s bead diameter and offset to confirm compatibility

What are the shipping and physical details I should know?

The tire ships in a compact package weighing about 26.6 pounds and dimensions near 25.6 x 25.6 x 11.5 inches, making it straightforward to receive at home or on-site. It’s manufactured in the United States, and the packaging protects the tread and sidewall during transport.

• Package weight: approximately 26.6 pounds for handling estimates
• Package dimensions: 25.6 H x 25.6 L x 11.5 W inches for freight planning
• Country of origin: United States, with factory-quality control standards

How does this tire affect turf health and maintenance tasks?

The wider paddle tread is designed to reduce ground pressure compared with narrow, deep-tread tires, helping to minimize rutting and compaction on lawns and soft ground. That makes it a sensible choice for landscaping, turf maintenance, and applications where preserving surface condition matters.

• Wider footprint lowers PSI to protect grass roots
• Paddle lugs move debris and soft substrate without gouging
• Good for seasonal maintenance where surface integrity is important
