AR-PRO (2-Pack) 11x6.00-5 Flat Free Tire and Wheel - Universal 11x6-5 Solid Rubbe Riding Lawn Mower Tire with Rim - With 5.3"-7.5" Centered Hub and 3/4" Bearings - Fit Most Zero Turn Mowers

What It Is

This is a 2-pack of 11x6.00-5 flat-free (solid rubber) tires pre-mounted on steel rims, designed for riding lawn mowers and zero-turn mowers. It eliminates flat tires and air pressure maintenance, making it ideal for rough terrain, debris-strewn properties, or commercial use where downtime from punctures is unacceptable.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm these four measurements:

• Tire size: Must be 11x6.00-5 (11" outer diameter, 6" wide, 5" rim diameter). Measure your current tire’s sidewall stamp.
• Hub center hole: This tire has a centered hub with a 5.3" to 7.5" bolt pattern range. Measure your mower’s hub pilot diameter (center hole) and bolt circle (distance between opposite bolts). Common patterns: 4 on 4", 4 on 5.5", 4 on 6", 5 on 4.5", 5 on 5.5".
• Axle/bearing size: The rim comes with 3/4" bearings. Verify your mower’s axle diameter is 3/4" (0.75"). If your axle is 5/8" or 1", you’ll need adapter bushings (not included).
• Offset and clearance: The tire is 6" wide with a centered hub. Measure clearance between your current tire and the mower deck, frame, or steering linkage. On some zero-turns, the wider tire may rub at full turn.

Brands known to fit: most Zero Turn models from Ariens, Bad Boy, Cub Cadet, Craftsman, Gravely, Hustler, John Deere, Husqvarna, Scag, Simplicity, Snapper, Toro, and Wright. Always verify your specific model’s front tire size and hub pattern.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Solid rubber is heavy (approx. 15 lbs each) and rides noticeably stiffer than pneumatic tires. Expect less traction on wet grass and a rougher ride over bumps. The rubber compound is durable but can chip on sharp rocks.
• Installation difficulty: Moderate. You’ll need a socket set and possibly a breaker bar for stubborn lug nuts. The centered hub design may require you to re-center the tire on the rim if it’s off from the factory (check runout before mounting).
• Common gotchas: The included bearings are standard 3/4" but may not have grease fittings. The hub pilot hole is 5/8" (common), but some mowers use a 1/2" or 3/4" pilot—verify. The bolt pattern range is wide, but the actual holes are slotted; you may need to elongate them slightly for perfect alignment.
• Lifespan: These typically outlast the mower itself in dry conditions, but UV exposure and heat can cause cracking after 3–5 years. Not recommended for heavy snow or mud use.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you want to permanently eliminate flat tires on a zero-turn or riding mower used on rough, puncture-prone terrain (e.g., fields, construction sites, or properties with thorns/debris). Skip it if you need a
