What It Is

This is a 2-pack of 15x6.00-6 front tires pre-mounted on steel wheels, designed for riding lawn mowers and garden tractors. It replaces worn or damaged front steer tires, with a 3-inch centered hub and included 3/4-inch bushings (plus extra 5/8-inch bushings) to fit common axle sizes.

Fitment & Compatibility

  • Check your tire size: Must be exactly 15x6.00-6 (15" outer diameter, 6" wide, 6" rim). Measure your current tire’s sidewall stamp – not the rim alone.
  • Hub and bushing fit: The hub is 3" centered. Standard axle sizes are 3/4" or 5/8". This set includes both bushings, so it fits most Craftsman, John Deere, MTD, Husqvarna, and Troy-Bilt front axles. Verify your axle diameter with a caliper.
  • Bolt pattern: These are 4-bolt wheels with a 4" center-to-center bolt pattern (common on most riding mowers). Count your existing wheel bolts and measure across opposite holes.
  • OEM vs aftermarket: This is a universal aftermarket part – not an OEM replacement. It will not match exact factory wheel offset or tread design on some premium mowers (e.g., older Simplicity or Gravely). Check clearance against the mower deck and frame after installation.

Key Things to Know

  • Quality vs price: At $59.95 for two, these are budget-friendly. Tread is basic ribbed design – fine for flat lawns but less grip on wet grass or slopes compared to OEM turf tires.
  • Installation: Easy – remove old tire/wheel, slide on axle, secure with existing clip or cotter pin. No special tools needed. The bushings may require slight filing if they’re tight on the axle.
  • Common gotchas: The included bushings are plastic, not metal. They can wear faster on rough terrain. Also, the wheel center hole is slightly larger than some OEM hubs, so the bushing must be centered perfectly to avoid wobble.
  • Tire pressure: These tires are rated for 14-20 PSI max. Overinflating can cause premature center tread wear or wheel cracking.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you need a quick, affordable front tire replacement for a standard riding mower on flat, well-maintained turf and don’t mind basic tread and plastic bushings. Skip it if you have a heavy-duty garden tractor, need aggressive traction, or require exact OEM fitment for a premium brand.
