What It Is

The MaxAuto 2Pcs 16x6.50-8 Front Tires and Wheels Assembly is a complete wheel-and-tire set designed for lawn mowers, garden tractors, and zero-turn mowers. It replaces worn or damaged front wheels with a 4-ply tubeless pneumatic tire rated for 615 lbs per pair, making it suitable for residential and light commercial mowing.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm these four measurements:

  • Tire size: Must be 16x6.50-8 (diameter x width x rim diameter). This fits many John Deere, Cub Cadet, Husqvarna, and MTD models, but check your manual or existing tire stamp.
  • Bolt pattern: The hub has a 3" offset with a 3/4" bearing bore. Measure your axle diameter – it must be 3/4" to fit. The wheel stud pattern is 4 on 4" (4 bolts spaced 4" apart center-to-center).
  • Offset: The 3" offset means the tire sits farther out from the mower frame than a standard 1.5" or 2" offset. This can affect steering clearance or deck fit – measure clearance on your current wheel before buying.
  • Load capacity: 615 lbs total (approx 307 lbs per wheel). Ensure your mower’s front axle weight doesn’t exceed this, especially with a heavy deck or attachments.

Key Things to Know

  • Quality: 4-ply rating is standard for residential mowers; holds up well on turf and gravel. Some users report sidewall stiffness is moderate – fine for mowing, not for aggressive off-road use.
  • Installation: Ready to bolt on – no tire mounting or balancing required. Use a torque wrench (25-35 ft-lbs) to avoid stripping the lug nuts. The valve stem is metal and accessible.
  • Common gotcha: The 3" offset may cause tire rub against the mower deck or frame on some compact models. Test by turning the steering full lock after installation. If rubbing occurs, you may need a smaller offset or spacers.
  • Tubeless design: No inner tube to replace, but the bead can leak if the rim is damaged. Check rim for dents before mounting.

Should You Buy It

This is a solid choice if your mower requires 16x6.50-8 tires with a 3" offset and 3/4" bearings, and you want a complete bolt-on replacement without messing with tire mounting. Skip it if your mower needs a different offset, smaller bearing size, or a higher load rating for heavy commercial use – in those cases, look for a 6-ply or specific OEM wheel.
