What It Is

This is a set of two 18x9.50-8 tubeless turf tires designed for lawn tractors, garden tractors, golf carts, and utility vehicles. They replace worn OEM tires on rear axles for mowing, light hauling, and flat turf operation.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm three measurements:

• Size: Must be exactly 18x9.50-8 (18" overall diameter, 9.5" section width, 8" rim diameter). This is a common rear tire size for many John Deere, Husqvarna, Craftsman, and MTD riding mowers.
• Rim width: Accepts rims from 7" to 8.5" wide (measure your rim’s bead seat width). These are tubeless but can be used with a tube if your rim is damaged or porous.
• Load rating: 1040 lbs per tire (4-ply rating) – sufficient for most residential lawn tractors up to ~600 lbs per axle. Check your mower’s rear axle weight rating in the manual.
• Model-specific: Not OEM for any single brand; verify your old tire sidewall says “18x9.50-8” (may also be marked 18-9.50-8). If your mower uses a different size (e.g., 18x8.50-8 or 20x10-8), these won’t fit.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: 4-ply rating with 1040 lbs capacity is solid for residential use, but not for heavy commercial or rough terrain. Tread is a turf-saver pattern (shallow, wide lugs) that won’t tear up lawns.
• Installation: Requires basic tools (tire irons or pry bars, air compressor). If your rims are rusty or corroded, expect a fight seating the bead. A tube (sold separately) can simplify mounting and prevent slow leaks.
• Common gotchas: These are tubeless tires, but many lawn mower rims are not airtight. If you see air leaking from the rim seam, use a tube. Also, check valve stem location – these tires have a standard TR-13 stem; some mowers need a 90-degree stem for tight clearance.
• Set of 2: You get two tires (no rims). Great for rear axle replacement; fronts are usually smaller (e.g., 15x6.00-6).

Should You Buy It

Buy these if you need reliable, budget-friendly replacement rear tires for a standard residential lawn tractor or garden cart and your rim size matches. They’re a proven choice for flat turf, occasional light hauling, and replacing worn-out OEM tires. Skip them if you need heavy-duty traction for slopes, mud, or commercial mowing – consider a 6-ply or aggressive tread tire instead.
