13x5.00-6 Lawn Mower Tire, Replacement 13X5-6 Turf Tire for Lawn Mower, Riding Mower, Lawn Garden Tractors, Not for Highway Use

What It Is

This is a 13x5.00-6 turf tire for front or rear axles on riding mowers, lawn tractors, and garden tractors. It’s designed for grass, dirt, and light-duty turf use—not for highway or pavement travel.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm these three things:

• Tire size: Must be exactly 13x5.00-6 (also listed as 13x5-6). The first number is overall diameter (13”), the second is width (5”), and the last is rim diameter (6”). Do not mix with 13x4.00-6 or 13x6.00-6—those are different widths and may not fit your rim or deck clearance.
• Rim/bolt pattern: This is a tire only, not a wheel. You need to mount it on a 6” rim. Check that your existing rim has the correct bolt pattern (typically 4 on 4” or 4 on 5.5” for tractors). Measure center-to-center on opposite bolts.
• Deck clearance: Measure the space between your mower deck and the tire at full turn. This tire is 5” wide; if your original was narrower (e.g., 4”), it may rub. Also check axle height for proper lift.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: It’s a budget-friendly aftermarket turf tire. Expect moderate tread life (2–3 seasons on average use). Not for heavy loads or rough terrain.
• Installation: Requires tire irons and a bead seater if you’re mounting it yourself. Most people pay a shop $10–$15 per tire for mounting and balancing. Do not attempt if you lack tools or experience—you can damage the bead.
• Common gotcha: The 5” width can cause clearance issues on older tractors with narrow wheel wells or tight deck gaps. Always test fit before fully inflating.
• Pressure: Run at 12–15 PSI for turf; overinflation (above 20 PSI) causes a harsh ride and reduced traction. Underinflation (below 10 PSI) risks bead unseating.

Should You Buy It

If you need a direct 13x5.00-6 replacement for a worn or damaged turf tire on a riding mower or garden tractor, this is a solid, low-cost option. Skip it if you require heavy-duty puncture resistance, highway-rated rubber, or a custom width (e.g., 4” or 6”). Best for light residential use with proper rim and clearance confirmation.
