This is a 13x5.00-6 flat-free (airless) tire and wheel assembly with a turf tread pattern, designed for zero-turn mowers, walk-behinds, and small lawn tractors that use 6-inch rims. It’s ideal for replacing front caster tires or rear drive tires on push mowers, eliminating flats from punctures or slow leaks.
Fitment & Compatibility
Before buying, confirm these three measurements:
- Tire size: 13x5.00-6 (13-inch outer diameter, 5-inch width, 6-inch rim).
- Center hub: 3-inch diameter – measure your existing wheel’s center hole to ensure it fits your axle or caster fork.
- Bearings: Comes with both 3/4-inch and 5/8-inch inner bearings (sleeved). Check your mower’s axle diameter – if it’s 3/4-inch, use the larger bearing; if 5/8-inch, use the smaller. If your axle is metric (e.g., 20mm), you’ll need a different wheel.
This tire is a universal aftermarket replacement, not an OEM part. Common fitments include many Husqvarna, Craftsman, Troy-Bilt, and MTD zero-turn front wheels, but always measure your current wheel’s hub and bearing hole before ordering. It will not fit mowers with 4-inch or 8-inch rims.
Key Things to Know
- No air = no maintenance, but stiffer ride: Flat-free tires are solid foam – they never go flat, but they transmit more vibration and won’t absorb bumps like pneumatic tires. Expect a harsher ride on rough terrain.
- Turf tread is for grass, not pavement: The shallow, smooth tread grips lawns well without tearing, but it wears quickly on concrete or asphalt. Avoid prolonged hard-surface use.
- Installation is straightforward: Remove the old wheel, swap in the new one, and secure with the axle bolt. No inflation needed. Check that the axle nut tightens fully – if your axle is slightly shorter, you may need a washer.
- Weight and load: Rated for light-duty mowers (typically up to 300 lbs per tire). Not for heavy garden tractors or commercial mowers with high load capacities.
Should You Buy It
Buy this if you’re tired of fixing flats on your residential zero-turn or push mower, and you’re okay with a firmer ride on turf. It’s a solid budget-friendly upgrade for casual lawn care. Skip it if you need a smooth ride on bumpy ground, or if your mower uses metric axles or a different hub size – measure carefully first.
