This is a 2-pack of 13x5.00-6 flat-free (solid foam) tires mounted on wheels with a 3/4" bearing bore, plus included 5/8" bearing sleeves. Designed specifically as front tires for zero-turn mowers, rated for 500 lbs total capacity (250 lbs per tire), ideal for residential or light commercial use where punctures are a concern.
Fitment & Compatibility
Before buying, verify:
- Tire size: 13x5.00-6 (13" outer diameter, 5" width, 6" rim). Measure your current front tire—if it’s close but not exact, check clearance on your mower deck and frame.
- Bearing bore: The wheel hub has a 3/4" bore. It comes with 5/8" snap-in bearing sleeves to fit 5/8" axles. If your zero-turn has a different axle diameter (e.g., 1/2" or 3/4"), these won’t work without adapters.
- Bolt pattern: The wheel uses a single center bore (no lug nuts). It slides onto the axle and is secured by a cotter pin or clip. Confirm your mower axle uses this style, not a hub with lug bolts.
- Brand/model: Fits most residential zero-turn mowers (e.g., Cub Cadet, Husqvarna, John Deere, Toro, Gravely) that use 13x5.00-6 front tires. Check your owner’s manual or measure existing tire. Not for riding tractors with front wheels that steer via spindles.
Key Things to Know
- No maintenance: Flat-free means zero air pressure checks or puncture repairs. But the ride is noticeably stiffer than pneumatic tires—expect more vibration on rough terrain.
- Installation is easy: Remove old tire, slide new wheel onto axle, and secure with existing cotter pin. No tire mounting or balancing needed.
- Weight capacity: 500 lbs total (250 lbs per tire) is fine for most residential zero-turns. If your mower is heavy (e.g., 600+ lbs front end), these may sag or wear faster.
- Size accuracy: Some users report the tire is slightly smaller than 13" diameter (closer to 12.5") when new, which can affect cutting height if the rear tires are also 13". Measure your deck clearance.
Should You Buy It
Buy this if you’re tired of fixing front tire flats on your zero-turn mower and want a simple, permanent solution for a residential lawn. It’s best for flat, even ground where a stiff ride isn’t an issue. Skip it if you need exact OEM sizing for deck height precision, have a heavy commercial mower, or prefer the smoother ride of pneumatic tires.
