Deli Tire Agricultural Tractor Lug Tread Tubeless 4 Ply Tire (4.80/4.00-8)

What It Is

This Deli 4.80/4.00-8 tubeless tire is an agricultural lug tread replacement tire designed for small lawn tractors, garden tractors, and zero-turn mowers. The aggressive tread pattern provides extra traction in soft soil, mud, or light snow, making it ideal for utility carts, log splitters, and mowers used on uneven or sloped terrain.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Size: 4.80/4.00-8 (width 4.80", rim diameter 8"). Fits standard 8" wheels with a 4" rim width.
• Rim width: Use on rims between 3.5" and 5.0" wide. Measure your existing rim width before ordering.
• Load capacity: 4-ply rating, max load ~480 lbs per tire at 30 PSI. Check your mower’s weight and axle load.
• Common machines: Fits many John Deere, Cub Cadet, Husqvarna, Craftsman, and MTD lawn tractors (front or rear). Not for rear wheels on heavy-duty zero-turns over 1,000 lbs.
• OEM vs aftermarket: Aftermarket replacement. Verify your original tire size is stamped on the sidewall (e.g., “4.80-8” or “4.00-8”). This tire is slightly wider than a standard 4.00-8, so check clearance against the deck, frame, and fenders.
• Valve stem: Tubeless design – no tube needed, but check your rim has a valve stem hole and that the bead seats properly.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: 4-ply rating is adequate for light to medium duty. Tread depth is moderate; not as deep as premium 6-ply tires but fine for occasional off-road use.
• Installation: Easy to mount on a clean, rust-free rim using soapy water and tire irons. No special tools required. Inflate slowly and check bead seating.
• Tread noise: Lug tread is louder on pavement than a turf tire. Expect vibration at higher speeds on hard surfaces.
• Common gotcha: Some users report the tire is slightly smaller in actual diameter than spec (around 15.5" vs 16"). Measure your old tire’s height to confirm clearance. Also, the sidewall is stiff when cold – warm the tire or use a heat gun for easier mounting.

Should You Buy It

Buy this Deli tire if you need affordable replacement traction for a small lawn tractor or utility machine that sees mud, grass, or light snow. It’s a solid value for the price, but skip it if you need a premium 6-ply tire for heavy loads or daily commercial use, or if you require a smooth turf tire for manicured lawns.
