Rocky Mountain Goods 15x6.00 6 NHS Lawn Mower Tire and Wheel - Replacement Wheel for Craftsman, John Deere, Cub Cadet, Riding Mower, Tractor - Turf Saver Tread - Heavy Duty 4 Ply - Tubeless Tire (1)

What It Is

The Rocky Mountain Goods 15x6.00-6 NHS lawn mower tire and wheel is a replacement front or rear tire assembly for riding mowers and garden tractors. It features a turf-saver tread designed for minimal lawn damage on residential or commercial zero-turn and lawn tractor applications.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, check these three things:

• Tire size: Must be 15x6.00-6 (15" outer diameter, 6" wide, 6" rim). Measure your existing tire’s sidewall markings to confirm. This is a non-highway service (NHS) tire, so it’s for off-road mower use only.
• Wheel bolt pattern: This wheel uses a 3/4" center hole with a 4-bolt pattern on a 4" square (common on Craftsman, John Deere, Cub Cadet). Verify your mower’s hub pattern—some older or odd-brand models may differ (e.g., 5-bolt or non-standard spacing).
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is a direct replacement for OEM part numbers like Cub Cadet 734-04000, John Deere M155395, and Craftsman 138928. If you have a model with a different wheel offset (e.g., zero-turn with reverse rotation), measure your current wheel’s backspacing to ensure it clears the frame and deck.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: 4-ply rating provides decent puncture resistance for residential use, but it’s not a heavy-duty 6-ply tire. Expect normal wear on gravel or rough terrain.
• Installation: Tubeless design means no tube needed, but the tire comes pre-mounted and inflated on the steel wheel. Just bolt it on—no balancing required. Takes about 10 minutes per wheel.
• Common gotchas: The turf-saver tread is smooth and won’t dig in on wet grass, but it can slip on steep slopes or muddy conditions. If your mower uses a different bolt pattern (e.g., 5/8" or 1" center hole), this wheel won’t fit without an adapter.
• Weight capacity: Rated for up to 600 lbs per tire, suitable for most riding mowers up to 500 lbs total weight. Heavier zero-turns may need a higher ply tire.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you need a straightforward, drop-in replacement for a common 15x6.00-6 tire on a Craftsman, John Deere, or Cub Cadet riding mower and want a durable, budget-friendly option that won’t tear up your lawn. Skip it if you need a 6-ply tire for rocky terrain, a different bolt pattern, or a more aggressive tread for mud or snow.
