Stens 165-116 Carlisle Tire, 13" x 5.00"-6" Rib, 4-Ply,Black

What It Is

The Stens 165-116 is a 13" x 5.00"-6" ribbed replacement tire designed for lawn mowers, garden tractors, and zero-turn mowers. It’s commonly used on front caster wheels or as a drive tire on older walk-behind mowers.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, check three things:

• Size: Must be 13" diameter, 5.00" wide, with a 6" rim. Measure your current tire’s sidewall numbers to confirm.
• Rim & Bolt Pattern: This is a tire only (no rim). You’ll reuse your existing rim. Ensure your rim has a 6" diameter and matches the tire’s bead seat.
• Application: Fits many brands including Toro, John Deere, Craftsman, Husqvarna, and MTD. Cross-reference your OEM part number (e.g., 94-684, 106-841, or 133-231) with Stens 165-116. Not for riding mowers with 4.80/4.00-8 or 15x6.00-6 tires.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: 4-ply rating provides decent puncture resistance for residential use, but not for heavy commercial or rocky terrain.
• Installation: Moderate difficulty. You’ll need a tire iron or pry bar to mount it on the rim. Consider having a shop install it if you don’t have tools.
• Tread: Ribbed design offers low rolling resistance and good steering response on grass, but minimal traction on wet or loose surfaces.
• Gotcha: This tire is directional. The rib pattern should face forward for best performance and even wear.

Should You Buy It

If you need a budget-friendly, direct-fit replacement for a worn 13x5.00-6 rib tire on a residential mower or garden tractor, this is a solid choice. Avoid it if you require heavy-duty off-road traction or need a tire with an included rim.
