Kartio 16x6.50-8 Tubeless Riding Mower Front Tire & Wheel Pair — 2pc Pre-Assembled, 3/4" Bearing, 3" Offset, Adapter Kit

Kartio 16x6.50-8 pre-assembled tubeless front tire and wheel pair designed for riding mowers and light garden equipment — includes 3/4" bearings, a 3" offset hub, and an adapter kit for broad fitment.

This 2-piece set combines tubeless 16×6.50-8 tires with durable steel rims and a universal adapter kit so you can replace worn front wheels quickly and get your mower back to work. Built as a 4-ply tire with a 715 lb (325 kg) load capacity and 35 PSI rating, the assembly is intended for turf and utility use where puncture resistance, shock absorption, and reliable fitment matter most. The wheels come pre-installed with a 3/4" bearing and 3" offset but include bushings, spacers and pins to adapt to many popular lawn tractor and garden equipment hubs.

Will these wheels fit my riding mower?

They fit many common lawn tractors but fitment depends on your hub diameter, bearing size, and hub offset. This kit arrives with a 3/4" bearing pre-installed and a 3" offset hub, plus adapter pieces to expand compatibility with 1" axles and different spacer needs.

• Pre-installed bearing: 3/4"
• Included adapters: four 1" bushings, metal spacers, washers, and pins
• Offset hub: 3" standard, adjustable up to 5" with adapters
• Confirm current tire model and bearing before purchasing

How rugged and long-lasting are these tubeless tires?

Each tire is constructed with approximately 40% high-grade rubber and a 4-ply casing to resist wear and handle repeated use on lawns and rougher surfaces. The steel rim adds impact resistance to protect the bead and sidewall under load, while the tubeless design reduces flats from small punctures.

• Tire composition: ~40% high-quality rubber for durability
• Load capacity: 715 lbs (325 kg) per wheel
• Recommended max inflation: 35 PSI
• Rim: steel construction for improved impact strength
