18x9.50-8 Lawn Mower Tire and Wheel Assembly,18x9.50-8 Riding Lawn Mower Tire with Rim, 4 Lug 8"x 7" Wheel, 2.52 Central Hole, 4Ply,1040lbs,Set of 2

What It Is

This is a set of two 18x9.50-8 lawn mower tires pre-mounted on 8x7-inch rims with a 4-lug pattern. Designed for riding mowers and zero-turn mowers that need increased load capacity (1,040 lbs per tire) and traction on uneven or soft terrain.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify these three measurements:

• Tire size: Must be 18x9.50-8 (18" tall, 9.50" wide, fits an 8" rim). Not interchangeable with 18x8.50-8 or 20x10-8.
• Bolt pattern: 4-lug on 8"x7" wheel with a 2.52" center hole. Measure your existing wheel’s lug spacing (center to center on opposite lugs) – this is a common pattern for many Craftsman, Husqvarna, MTD, and John Deere models.
• Offset: The 8"x7" rim width is standard for 9.50" tires. Check that the wheel offset matches your mower’s axle clearance (especially on zero-turns with tight wheel wells).

OEM vs aftermarket: This is a universal replacement. It may not match OEM rim offset or hub pilot depth exactly – test fit one before mounting both.

Key Things to Know

• Load capacity: 1,040 lbs per tire (4-ply rating) is high – fine for heavy mowers but overkill for standard residential riders. Weight savings are minimal.
• Installation: No special tools needed – just a socket and torque wrench. Lug nuts are typically 1/2" or 5/8". Do not over-torque (check your mower manual).
• Common gotcha: The 2.52" center hole is larger than many OEM hubs (which are often 2.0" or 2.25"). If your mower’s axle hub is smaller, the wheel will center on the lugs, not the hub – still safe, but verify lug nut seating.
• Tire pressure: Run at 12-15 PSI for most mowers. Overinflation reduces traction and ride comfort.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you need a heavy-duty, pre-assembled tire/wheel set for a riding mower or zero-turn with a 4-lug 8x7 pattern and your current tires are worn, dry-rotted, or flat. It’s a solid value for the load capacity, but confirm your center hole and offset first – if your mower has a smaller hub or non-standard offset, look for a model-specific set.
