# How to Change Tires on a Sears Craftsman Riding Lawn Mower
Sears Craftsman riding lawn mowers come in a wide range of models, with varying levels of horsepower and a range of available features. The tires are connected to the mower the same way for each model. If a tire runs over a sharp object and becomes flat, it will need to be replaced with a new tire. The tires will also wear down over time and will need to be changed.
