Caltric 2X Front 4" Rim and Tire Compatible with Snapper Rear Engine Riding Mower 7052267 4.1/3.6-4"

What It Is

This is a set of two front wheels and tires (4" rims with 4.1/3.6-4 tires) designed for Snapper rear-engine riding mowers. It replaces worn or damaged front wheels to restore steering and mobility.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Check your mower model: This set fits Snapper rear-engine riders with a 4" front rim and 4.1/3.6-4 tire size. Common compatible models include 281252B, 281352B, 331416B, and others using OEM part 7052267. Verify your mower’s model number on the frame tag.
• Measure your old tire: Ensure the tire diameter is roughly 4" and the rim width matches (typically 2" or 2.5"). The 4.1/3.6-4 marking means tire width ~4.1", section height ~3.6", rim diameter 4".
• Aftermarket vs OEM: Caltric is an aftermarket brand. It’s a direct replacement for the Snapper OEM part, but may not have the same tread pattern or rubber compound. Confirm your deck clearance (especially on 30" or 33" decks) – aftermarket tires can be slightly taller or wider.
• Axle size: These rims use a standard 5/8" bore. Measure your front axle diameter – if it’s 3/4", you’ll need a different wheel set.

Key Things to Know

• Quality note: Caltric tires are budget-friendly but may wear faster than OEM. Expect decent tread life for light residential use, but not heavy commercial duty.
• Installation: Simple bolt-on replacement – remove the old wheel (usually held by a single nut or cotter pin), slide on the new one, and secure. No special tools needed.
• Common gotcha: The tire pressure is often low from shipping. Inflate to 12-15 psi before mounting. Overinflation can cause a bumpy ride or rim damage.
• Tread pattern: These are smooth or semi-ribbed tires. They work fine on grass and hard ground but offer less traction on wet slopes compared to knobby tires.

Should You Buy It

If you need a quick, affordable replacement for worn front tires on a Snapper rear-engine rider and don’t mind aftermarket quality, this set is a solid value. It’s best for homeowners with one or two mowers, not for frequent commercial use. Double-check your axle bore size and tire clearance before ordering.
