Yes , my daughter and son inlaw had them put on the new Toro zero turn mower. Very expensive option along with very poor traction. I have cut their grass many times and all this mower does is break traction and spin. I would not give up the traction for never a flat tire option. Also a rough ride. My two cents worth.

Never have heard lack of traction, or rough ride complaints in the six years the implement dealer I help has been installing them on Grasshopper, and Gravely zero turn mowers.

They are expensive but every one I've delivered and check back with the owners, they  rave about them. One guy purchases a new Grasshopper diesel every other year and I switched the Tweels from the traded mower to the new one. His lawn looks better than some golf courses also. 

Just what I've seen myself.
