Holy freaking Hell, John Deere parts are overpriced !

Anyone know where to find generic equivalents ? I'm trying to replace a front tire on a SX85 rider mower without spending more than $50.

I don't know of any aftermarket replacement manufactures.

I would just be concerned about Quality of the replacement part. John Deer parts are generally a little better quality than most.
