AR-PRO (2-Pack) 13x6.50-6 Flat Free Tire and Wheel - Universal 13x6.5-6 Solid Rubbe Riding Lawn Mower Tire with Rim - With 5.5"-7.8" Centered Hub and 3/4" Bearings extra 5/8" 1/2" Bushings

What It Is

This is a 2-pack of 13x6.50-6 flat-free (solid rubber) tires pre-mounted on steel rims, designed for riding lawn mowers and garden tractors. The solid construction eliminates punctures and air pressure maintenance, making it ideal for rough terrain, debris-heavy yards, or commercial use where downtime from flat tires is unacceptable.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Tire size: 13x6.50-6 (13" outer diameter, 6.5" width, 6" rim diameter). Confirm your existing tire sidewall matches these numbers exactly.
• Hub center hole: 5.5" to 7.8" (adjustable centered hub). Measure your mower’s axle hub pilot diameter – if it falls outside this range, the tire won’t center properly.
• Bearing/bushing options: Includes 3/4" bearings plus extra 5/8" and 1/2" bushings. Check your axle diameter (common on riding mowers: 3/4", 5/8", or 1/2"). If your axle is 1" or metric, these won’t fit.
• Bolt pattern: Universal 4-hole pattern, but verify lug spacing (typically 4" on 4" or 4" on 5.5" center). Measure center-to-center on opposite holes.
• Common brands: Fits many Craftsman, Husqvarna, John Deere, MTD, Troy-Bilt, and Ariens models – but always compare measurements, not brand name.

Key Things to Know

• Weight and ride: Solid tires are significantly heavier than pneumatic – expect a firmer ride and slightly reduced top speed. Not recommended for zero-turn mowers with sensitive traction control.
• Installation difficulty: Moderate. You may need to remove wheel hubs or spacers. The included bushings must be tapped in with a hammer – ensure they seat flush to avoid wobble.
• Flat-free trade-off: No punctures ever, but no shock absorption. Rough terrain can transmit vibration to the mower frame and operator.
• Hub centering: The adjustable hub uses a sliding center plate – tighten it securely to prevent slipping during turns. Over-tightening can warp the plate.

Should You Buy It

Buy these if you mow over thorny brush, construction debris, or gravel and are tired of fixing flats. They’re a solid upgrade for heavier-duty use, but skip them if you want a smooth ride on manicured lawns or have a zero-turn mower with precise traction needs. Verify your axle diameter and hub pilot size first – return shipping on these is costly.
