(2) Super Turf Tire Assemblies 18x8.50-8 Fits Hustler Raptor 42" 52" 604013

What It Is

This set includes two 18x8.50-8 Super Turf tires mounted on wheels, designed for zero-turn mowers like the Hustler Raptor 42" and 52" models (OEM part 604013). They provide durable traction and flotation on turf without damaging grass, ideal for residential and light commercial mowing.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm these three things:

• Tire size: Must be 18x8.50-8 (height x width x rim diameter). Measure your current tire sidewall—if it says 18x8.50-8, these fit dimensionally.
• Bolt pattern & hub: Hustler Raptor 42" and 52" use a 4-bolt pattern with 4" center-to-center spacing (4 on 4"). Check your wheel’s bolt circle and center hole diameter (typically 3/4" or 7/8"). Super Turf assemblies match OEM 604013 specs, but aftermarket hubs may vary.
• Deck clearance: Ensure the 18" diameter clears your deck and frame. Raptor models are designed for this size, but if you’ve swapped spindles or added a lift kit, verify no rubbing at full turn.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Super Turf tires are a solid aftermarket choice—equal to OEM in tread life and puncture resistance, but not as plush as premium brands like Kenda. Expect 2-3 seasons of residential use.
• Installation: Generally bolt-on, but you may need a 3/4" or 7/8" socket and a torque wrench (tighten to 50-60 ft-lbs). Check that lug nuts are included; if not, reuse originals.
• Gotcha: The valve stem position can interfere with some mower’s frame or brake linkage on the left side. Rotate the tire on the rim slightly during install if clearance is tight.
• Load rating: 18x8.50-8 tires typically support 500-600 lbs each, more than enough for these mowers.

Should You Buy It

If your Hustler Raptor 42" or 52" needs fresh tires and you want a direct-fit, affordable replacement that matches OEM specs, this set is a reliable choice. Avoid if you need premium turf protection for high-end commercial work or if your mower uses a different bolt pattern (e.g., 5 on 4.5" on some older models).
