Robot Traction Wheel for Gardena Sileno City 250 Smart 300 400 600 500 Smart 500 Smart+ Life1000 Robotic Lawn Mower, 212MM Non-slip Lawnmower Spikes Repair Accessories, 2 Spikes with 14 Nails

What It Is

This is a set of two replacement traction wheels (212mm diameter) designed specifically for Gardena Sileno robotic mowers. The wheels feature non-slip spikes with 14 integrated nails to improve grip on slopes, wet grass, or loose soil, preventing the mower from getting stuck or sliding.

Fitment & Compatibility

Exact models: Gardena Sileno City 250, Smart 300, Smart 400, Smart 600, Smart 500, Smart 500 Smart+, and Life 1000. Not compatible with older Sileno models (e.g., Sileno 500/1000 without “Smart” in name) or other brands like Husqvarna or Worx.

What to check before buying:

• Wheel diameter: Measure your current wheel – must be 212mm (8.35 inches). If your mower uses smaller wheels (e.g., 180mm), these won’t fit.
• Axle type: These wheels use a standard 8mm hexagonal axle. Confirm your mower’s axle is hexagonal, not round or splined.
• OEM vs aftermarket: These are aftermarket replacements, not original Gardena parts. They may wear differently or have slightly different tread depth.
• Nail count: The 14 nails per wheel are fixed spikes – not adjustable or removable. Ensure your lawn’s surface can tolerate them (avoid artificial turf or delicate grass).

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Rated 4.6/5 from only 3 reviews – limited feedback on long-term durability. The rubber compound may be harder than OEM, potentially reducing traction on wet surfaces over time.
• Installation: Easy – remove the old wheel’s center cap, unscrew the axle bolt, swap wheels, and tighten. No special tools required (usually a 10mm wrench).
• Common gotchas: The spikes can leave small marks on patios or walkways. Also, if your mower’s axle is worn or bent, the new wheels may wobble – inspect before buying.
• Noise: The metal nails create a clicking sound on hard surfaces – expect more noise than standard rubber wheels.

Should You Buy It

Buy these if your Gardena Sileno Smart model struggles on slopes, wet grass, or loose soil and you need a budget-friendly fix (cheaper than OEM wheels). Skip if you have a non-Smart Sileno, want OEM durability, or need smooth wheels for delicate lawns or hard surfaces.
