Parts Camp 4.80/4.00-8 (16") Flat-Free Wheelbarrow Tire & Wheel — 3" Hub, Bearings & Spacers, 300 lb Load

Parts Camp 4.80/4.00-8 (16") flat-free tire and wheel is a heavy-duty, maintenance-free replacement wheelset designed for wheelbarrows, garden carts, and outdoor power equipment.

If you want a dependable, puncture-proof wheel that fits common 16" wheelbarrow and utility equipment, this Parts Camp assembly delivers a solid, balanced replacement with included bearings and spacers for broad compatibility. The kit pairs a 16" diameter, 3.6" wide flat-free tire and a centered 3" hub with an adapter selection so you can mount it on axles ranging from 5/8" to 3/4" and beyond. Built to carry loads up to 300 lb per tire and 600 lb as a pair, it’s ideal for heavy garden work, jobsite hauling, and equipment that can’t afford downtime from flats.

What are the key measurements and mounting options?

The wheel features a 16" outside diameter, about 3.6" tread width, and a centered hub measuring 3" across. The axle bore accepts a 5/8" bushing as standard and the kit includes extra 3/4" bearings and various nylon spacers so you can adapt to different axle setups. This flexibility reduces the need for additional parts or machine work.

• Tire diameter: 16" (4.80/4.00-8 sizing)
• Tire width: ~3.6" for stable load distribution
• Center hub: 3" nominal, fits 3" to 7" hub spacing with spacers
• Included bore adapters: installed 5/8" bushing and extra 3/4" bearings

How does the adapter kit make installation easier?

The package includes bearings and nylon spacers that let you tailor the wheel to different axle diameters and hub clearances without machining. Using the supplied 3/4" bearings, 0.5" and 1.5" spacers, and installed 5/8" bushing, you can achieve a snug, wobble-free fit on many garden and jobsite machines.

• 4 × 3/4" bearings for larger axles or replacements
• 4 × 0.5" nylon spacers and 4 × 1.5" nylon spacers for hub alignment
• Factory-installed 5/8" bushings for common axles
• Centered hub design simplifies spacing adjustments

What load capacity and durability can I expect?

Each tire is rated for roughly 300 lb dynamic load, giving a combined capacity of about 600 lb for a two-wheel setup. Because the tire is flat-free, you eliminate downtime and maintenance tied to inner tubes and punctures; the solid construction also resists deformation under moderate loads.

• Single tire rating: ~300 lb dynamic load
• Dual-wheel rating: ~600 lb combined
• Solid, puncture-resistant construction for zero flats
• Suitable for uneven terrain and frequent use

Which equipment types will this wheel replace?

This replacement works with a wide range of outdoor tools and equipment that originally use 16" wheels: wheelbarrows, broadcast spreaders, garden carts, hand trucks, small generators, air compressors, lawn equipment wagons, and pressure washers. If your equipment uses a 4.80/4.00-8 or 16" solid tire with a similar hub pattern, this Parts Camp wheel is a direct or easily adaptable swap.

• Wheelbarrows and utility carts
• Broadcast spreaders and garden wagons
• Small generators, compressors, pressure washers
• Hand trucks and light-duty jobsite equipment

Who is this for? This Parts Camp flat-free wheel and tire combo is aimed at homeowners, landscapers, and small contractors who need a low-maintenance, durable wheel that fits a wide variety of 16" outdoor equipment. It’s especially useful if you want to avoid flats, simplify upkeep, and install a ready-to-fit wheel using the included bearings and spacers. If your project requires higher load ratings or specialized hubs, check axle diameter and hub spacing before purchase to confirm compatibility.
