26X12.00-16 Tire and Wheel Assembly Kubota Original Equipment Replacement

What It Is

This is a 26x12.00-16 tire mounted on a wheel assembly, designed as a direct OEM replacement for Kubota zero-turn mowers and compact tractors. It’s the rear drive tire for heavy-duty mowing or light turf work, sized for machines that require a tall, wide tire for stability and traction.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, check three things: your machine’s tire size (26x12.00-16 is the exact tire size), wheel bolt pattern (typically 4 on 4 inches for Kubota, but measure your hub), and center hole diameter (common sizes are 2.5” or 3”). This assembly fits many Kubota ZD, ZG, Z700, and BX series models, as well as some older John Deere and Simplicity zero-turns that use the same size. Verify your existing tire is 26x12.00-16—not 26x12.00-12 or other variations. Check your owner’s manual or measure the current tire sidewall.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: This is a 4-ply or 6-ply rated tire (confirm on listing) for turf or light off-road use. It matches Kubota OEM tread pattern and load capacity.
• Installation: Mounting is straightforward if you have a floor jack and basic tools—just remove the old assembly and bolt on the new one. No tire mounting or balancing needed.
• Common gotcha: Some aftermarket 26x12.00-16 wheels have a different offset than Kubota OEM, which can rub the deck or frame. This assembly is labeled as OEM replacement, so offset should match, but measure your current wheel’s backspacing if possible.
• Price: At $347, it’s competitive with dealer prices but cheaper than buying tire and wheel separately. Expect shipping to be heavy (50+ lbs).

Should You Buy It

If you need a direct bolt-on replacement for a Kubota zero-turn or compact tractor with 26x12.00-16 rear tires, and you want OEM fit without sourcing separate parts, this is a solid buy. It’s best for turf or mowing use, not for heavy construction or rocky terrain. Avoid if your machine has a different bolt pattern or you need a different tire size.
