MaxAuto 2 Pcs 16x6.50-8 Lawn Mower Tire for Garden Tractors Riding Mowers, 4PR, Tubeless

What It Is

A pair of 16x6.50-8, 4-ply rated, tubeless rear or front tires designed for garden tractors and riding mowers. These replace worn tires on brands like John Deere, Husqvarna, Craftsman, Cub Cadet, and Troy-Bilt, offering a direct fit upgrade for standard 8-inch rims.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Size: 16-inch diameter, 6.50-inch width, 8-inch rim. Confirm your current tire’s sidewall markings match exactly—any variation (e.g., 16x6.5-8 vs 16x7.5-8) will change clearance and handling.
• Rim width: Fits 5.5- to 7-inch wide rims. Measure your rim’s inner bead seat width; too narrow or wide can cause bead seating issues.
• Load & ply: 4PR (4-ply rating) is standard for residential riding mowers up to ~500 lbs per tire. Not for zero-turn mowers with heavy rear loads or commercial use.
• Tubeless: Works on tubeless rims. If your current setup uses tubes, you can run these tubeless, but check valve stem type and rim condition for leaks.
• Brand/Model: Universal fit for most brands with 8-inch wheels. Verify your mower’s bolt pattern (typically 3/4-inch or 5/8-inch center hole) and offset—these tires are rim-mount only; you reuse your existing rims.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: 4-ply rating offers decent puncture resistance for lawns, but not for rocky or rough terrain. Sidewalls are softer than 6-ply options.
• Installation: Easy if you have tire irons and a bead breaker. Tubeless can be tough to seat without a compressor (use a ratchet strap around the tread to force bead against rim).
• Gotcha: These are 16x6.50-8, not 16x6.5-8 (same measurement, but some listings use a decimal). Always measure your old tire’s inflated diameter and width—variations in tread depth can affect speedometer/odometer accuracy on older tractors.
• Pair price: At $72.99 for two, it’s a solid value. Single tires from OEM brands often cost $40–$60 each, so this saves money on a common size.

Should You Buy It

If you need a direct, no-hassle replacement for a worn 16x6.50-8 tire on a standard riding mower or garden tractor, this pair offers good value and reliability for flat lawns. Skip it if you need a higher ply rating for heavy loads or rough terrain, or if your mower uses an oddball offset (check clearance on steering axles).
