contents This paper is devoted to the study of the T-tensor associated with a spherically symmetric Finsler metric $F=uϕ(r,s)$ on \(\mathbb{R}^n\). We derive a general expression for the T-tensor in terms of the scalar function \(ϕ(r, s)\) and its partial derivatives. Furthermore, we characterize all spherically symmetric Finsler metrics satisfying the so-called T-condition, that is, those for which the T-tensor vanishes. In addition, we obtain the formula for the mean Cartan tensor and demonstrate that all spherically symmetric Finsler metrics of dimension $n \geq 3$, with a non-zero mean Cartan tensor are quasi-C-reducible.
