TUFFIOM 18x9.50-8 2PR Set of 2 Lawn Mower Tires Turf Tire for Garden Tractor Riding Lawnmower, Tubeless

What It Is

The TUFFIOM 18x9.50-8 2PR set of two turf tires is a direct-fit replacement for rear wheels on garden tractors, zero-turn mowers, and riding lawnmowers. These tubeless tires are designed for low ground pressure on turf, minimizing damage to lawns while providing adequate traction on flat or gently sloped terrain.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify three things:

• Size: The tire is 18 inches tall, 9.50 inches wide, and fits an 8-inch rim. Measure your current tire’s sidewall markings—if it says 18x9.50-8, these will match.
• Rim width: These tires are designed for rims with a 7-inch to 8-inch width. Check your rim’s stamped width (e.g., 7.00-8 or 8.00-8) to ensure a proper bead seat.
• Load rating: The 2PR (2-ply rating) is light-duty, suitable for mowers up to ~500 lbs per tire. Heavier tractors with attachments may need a 4PR or 6PR tire.

These are aftermarket replacements, not OEM-specific. They fit most brands (John Deere, Cub Cadet, Husqvarna, Craftsman, etc.) using that size, but always confirm your model’s tire size on the sidewall.

Key Things to Know

• Quality vs. price: At ~$49 per tire, they’re budget-friendly. Expect softer rubber and shorter tread life than premium brands (e.g., Carlisle or Kenda), but adequate for residential use.
• Installation: Tubeless design means no tube to insert, but you’ll need to seat the bead with a high-volume air compressor. Hand-pumping won’t work. Consider using a tire lubricant or soapy water on the bead.
• Common gotchas: These tires run slightly narrow (9.50 inches) compared to some OEM tires that measure 10 inches wide. This can affect traction on loose soil or hills. Also, the 2PR sidewall is flexible—avoid overloading or hitting curbs.
• Tread pattern: The turf-style ribs provide good grip on grass but poor self-cleaning in mud. Not for heavy off-road use.

Should You Buy It

Buy these if you need an affordable, direct replacement for rear tires on a residential riding mower or garden tractor used on flat, well-maintained lawns. Avoid them if you regularly mow steep hills, wet clay, or need heavy-duty puncture resistance—step up to a 4PR or 6PR tire instead.
