Set of 2-18x9.50-8 2 Ply Turf Tire - Direct Replacement for Toro TimeCutter

What It Is

This is a set of two 18x9.50-8 2-ply turf tires designed as a direct replacement for the rear tires on Toro TimeCutter zero-turn mowers. They provide traction and flotation on turf without damaging grass, ideal for residential mowing on lawns, slopes, and uneven terrain.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your Toro TimeCutter model requires 18x9.50-8 tires (check sidewall stamp). This size fits most TimeCutter models (e.g., SS4225, Z4200, Z5000, MX5050), but not all—verify your deck size and year. These are aftermarket replacements, not OEM Toro parts, so measure the bolt pattern (typically 4 on 4" center) and hub diameter to match your wheels. Also check tire load rating (2-ply, ~200-300 lbs per tire) against your mower’s weight. If you have a TimeCutter with larger or smaller rear tires, this set won’t fit.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: 2-ply rating means lighter weight and less puncture resistance than 4-ply. Fine for flat lawns, but avoid rocky or debris-heavy areas.
• Installation: Simple swap—remove lug nuts, pull old tire, mount new one, and tighten. No special tools needed, but you may need to inflate to 12-15 PSI (check sidewall).
• Gotchas: These are tires only, not wheels. If your existing wheels are damaged, you’ll need separate wheels. Also, aftermarket tires may have slightly different tread patterns than OEM—this doesn’t affect fit but may change ride feel.
• Common issue: Some users report the tires arrive slightly under-inflated or with minor cosmetic blemishes—inspect before mounting.

Should You Buy It

Yes, if you need a direct, budget-friendly replacement for worn rear tires on a Toro TimeCutter and your mowing conditions are primarily turf with minimal debris. The 4.8-star rating and low price make it a solid value for residential use, but skip it if you need heavy-duty puncture resistance or OEM exact-match tread.
