HORSESHOE TRAKEHNER 2 New 18x9.50-8 / 18x9.5-8 6PR Super Lug-King Ditch-Witch Trencher Tiller AG/Farm/Lawn/Garden Tractor & Riding Lawn Mower Tires LRC Heavy Duty Color-Sidewall (18x9.50-8 6Ply)

What It Is

This is a heavy-duty 18x9.50-8 6-ply tire with a Super Lug-King tread pattern, designed for Ditch-Witch trenchers, tillers, and high-torque lawn/garden tractors. It’s also a common replacement for riding mowers needing extra traction on soft or uneven terrain.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Size: 18x9.50-8 (also listed as 18x9.5-8). Verify your rim diameter is 8 inches and width is 6–8 inches (check your current tire sidewall or rim stamp).
• Load range: 6PR (6-ply rating) – heavier than standard lawn tires. Confirm your mower/tractor’s load capacity (check manual or OEM tire spec).
• Tread style: Super Lug-King (deep, aggressive lug) – not for smooth turf or finish mowing. Best for loose soil, mud, or snow.
• Common fit: Many older Ditch-Witch trenchers, tillers, and some Gravely, Simplicity, or Cub Cadet models. Not universal – measure your current tire’s overall diameter (18” nominal) and rim width.
• OEM vs aftermarket: No direct OEM cross-reference listed. Compare tread depth and width to your original tire—this one is wider and taller than some stock 18x8.50-8 tires.

Key Things to Know

• Tread is aggressive: Expect vibration on pavement and faster wear on hard surfaces. Great for traction in dirt/mud, but not for manicured lawns.
• Installation: Tubeless design, but a tube may be needed if your rim has a damaged bead seat or is not airtight. Check rim condition before mounting.
• Weight: Heavier than standard lawn tires (approx. 20–25 lbs). May affect steering effort or lift capacity on small tractors.
• Color sidewall: Decorative red lettering – cosmetic only, but can fade over time if exposed to sun/chemicals.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you need a tough, high-traction tire for a trencher, tiller, or garden tractor that works in loose soil or snow, and you’re okay with a rougher ride on pavement. Skip it if you mow a lawn—the lugs will chew up turf and wear quickly on concrete.
