(Set of 2) 16x6.50-8 Tires & Wheels 4 Ply for Lawn & Garden Mower Turf Tires .75" Bearing. (Because we supply a precision ball bearing the shaft must be clean and straight for them to fit properly)

What It Is

This is a set of two 16x6.50-8 turf tires mounted on steel wheels with a 0.75-inch precision ball bearing hub. Designed for ride-on lawn mowers, garden tractors, and zero-turn mowers, they provide low ground pressure and minimal turf damage.

Fitment & Compatibility

Critical measurements to verify before purchase:

• Tire size: 16x6.50-8 (16-inch diameter, 6.5-inch width, 8-inch rim). Must match your current tire size exactly.
• Axle shaft diameter: The bearing bore is 0.75 inches. Measure your axle shaft with calipers—must be clean, straight, and exactly 0.75 inches (common on many Craftsman, Husqvarna, John Deere, MTD, and Troy-Bilt models).
• Wheel offset: Not specified. Measure from the mounting face to the center of the tire tread to ensure clearance against the mower frame or deck.
• Lug pattern: Not listed. Confirm your mower uses a single center axle (no lug nuts) with a cotter pin or retaining clip.

Brand/model fit: Aftermarket replacement for OEM wheels on most 16x6.50-8 applications. Not a direct fit for machines with 5/8-inch or 1-inch axles without adapters.

Check before buying: Remove one existing wheel. Measure axle diameter (0.75 in.), wheel offset, and overall tire height. Verify the bearing spins freely on the axle without binding.

Key Things to Know

• Precision bearings require a clean, straight axle. Rust, burrs, or bends will prevent proper fit and cause premature bearing failure. Clean and inspect the axle before installation.
• 4-ply rating provides decent puncture resistance for residential lawns but is not for heavy commercial use or rocky terrain.
• Installation difficulty: Easy—just remove the cotter pin and washer, slide old wheel off, slide new one on, and re-secure. No tire mounting required.
• Common gotcha: The bearing is pressed into the wheel. If it feels tight on the axle, do not force it—check for debris or axle damage. Slight tapping with a soft mallet may help.

Should You Buy It

If your mower has a 0.75-inch axle and you need a direct, no-mod replacement for worn-out 16x6.50-8 turf tires, this set is a solid value with strong reviews. It’s best for residential lawn care where turf preservation and easy installation matter. Avoid it if your axle is a different size or if you need a heavy-duty tire for rough terrain.
