Set of 2-16X6.50-8 4 Ply Turf Tires for Lawn & Garden Mower 16x6.5-8

What It Is

This is a pair of 16x6.50-8 4-ply turf tires designed for lawn tractors, zero-turn mowers, and garden tractors. They replace worn rear or front tires on residential and light-commercial mowers, providing low ground pressure and minimal turf damage.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Size: Must match 16x6.50-8 (tread width 6.5", rim diameter 8"). Check your current tire sidewall for these numbers.
• Rim width: Fits rims 4.5" to 5.5" wide. Measure your rim’s bead seat width if unsure.
• Load capacity: 4-ply rating supports up to ~545 lbs per tire at 20 psi. Verify your mower’s axle weight doesn’t exceed this.
• Bolt pattern/hub: Tires are universal – no bolt pattern to match. They fit any standard 8" rim with the correct width.
• OEM vs aftermarket: Aftermarket replacement for brands like Cub Cadet, John Deere, Husqvarna, Craftsman, and Troy-Bilt. Compare overall diameter (16") and tread depth to your old tire.

Key Things to Know

• Installation: Mounting requires tire irons and a bead seater. If you’re not comfortable breaking beads, budget for a shop install (~$15-20 per tire).
• Valve stem: Check if your current rim uses a straight or 90° valve stem. These tires come without stems – you’ll need to reuse yours or buy new ones.
• Tread pattern: Smooth turf tread is best for grass, but offers minimal traction on wet slopes or loose soil. Not for mud or snow.
• Ply rating: 4-ply is standard for residential mowers. 6-ply is heavier and stiffer – these are lighter and ride softer.

Should You Buy It

Buy these if you need a direct replacement for worn 16x6.50-8 turf tires on a standard lawn tractor or zero-turn and want a balanced mix of ride comfort, turf protection, and durability. Avoid if you require aggressive traction or need 6-ply for heavy loads.
