This is a two-pack of 13x5.00-6 flat-free (solid rubber) tire and wheel assemblies designed for riding lawn mowers. The solid rubber construction eliminates punctures and air pressure maintenance, making them ideal for rough terrain, debris-heavy yards, or commercial use where downtime from flats is unacceptable.
Fitment & Compatibility
Before buying, verify three key measurements:
- Tire size: 13x5.00-6 (13" outer diameter, 5" width, fits a 6" rim). This is common on many riding mowers (e.g., John Deere, Cub Cadet, Husqvarna, Craftsman) but not universal—check your current tire sidewall.
- Hub center hole: 3" to 6" centered hub. Measure your mower’s axle diameter and hub bore. If your axle is larger than 6" or smaller than 3", this won’t fit.
- Bolt pattern: These have a centered hub (no offset). Ensure your mower uses a centered (non-offset) wheel design—some models require offset wheels for proper clearance.
Cross-reference with your mower’s OEM part number (e.g., John Deere AM137396, AM125502). These are aftermarket, not OEM, so fitment may vary slightly. Always measure your existing wheel’s overall diameter, hub bore, and axle size before ordering.
Key Things to Know
- No maintenance, but stiffer ride: Solid rubber means zero flats, but the ride is noticeably harsher than pneumatic tires on bumpy lawns. Turf-friendly tread helps, but expect less shock absorption.
- Installation is straightforward: Remove the old tire/wheel (usually one bolt or cotter pin), slide the new one on, and secure. No tire mounting or inflation needed. A socket set and wrench are typically all you need.
- Weight may differ: Solid tires are heavier than pneumatics—this can affect mower balance slightly, especially on front wheels. Check that your mower’s axle and bearings can handle the added weight.
- Tread pattern matters: The turf-friendly tread is designed to minimize lawn damage, but on wet grass or steep slopes, solid rubber may provide less traction than pneumatic tires with deeper tread.
Should You Buy It
Buy this if you’re tired of patching flats on a riding mower used in rough, thorny, or debris-filled areas, and you don’t mind a firmer ride. It’s a solid choice for front wheels on residential mowers or rear wheels on smaller tractors. Skip it if you need an exact OEM match, a cushioned ride, or if your mower requires an offset wheel hub.
