SALUTE UA 16 x 6.50-8 Flat-Free Polyurethane Lawn Mower Wheel 2-Pack — 3/4" or 5/8" Bushing, Turf Tread, 500 lb Capacity

SALUTE UA 16 x 6.50-8 flat-free polyurethane tire and wheel assemblies are heavy-duty, puncture-proof replacements for riding mowers, garden tractors, carts, and other outdoor equipment.

These 16" diameter, 5.8" wide flat-free wheels pair a durable polyurethane tire with an 8" rim and a center hub designed to accept either 3/4" or 5/8" bushings. Each wheel supports up to 500 lbs, uses a turf tread for traction without damaging grass, and ships as a 2-pack with spacer options to extend hub length from 3" up to 6" for broader fitment. They are built to replace common OEM wheels on riding lawn mowers, garden tractors, wheelbarrows, and utility carts while eliminating air leaks and flats.

Which machines will these 16x6.50-8 wheels fit?

These assemblies are intended for many riding mower and garden tractor applications and can also be used on carts and wheelbarrows. The supplied bushings and spacers make the hub adaptable to a wide range of axle diameters and hub depths.

• Fits many Craftsman and similar mower models, garden tractors, and utility carts.
• Accepts 3/4" bushing by default and can be shimmed to 5/8" where needed.
• Hub can be extended from 3" to 6" using included nylon spacers and washers.

How do I change the hub length and bushing size?

Hub length adjustments are modular: the wheel ships with a 3" center hub and includes nylon spacers and zinc washers to incrementally extend length. Converting bushing size uses a shim so the same wheel can be used on different axles.

• Includes four 1/4" and four 1/2" nylon spacers to extend the hub.
• Two thin zinc washers help fine-tune spacing and alignment.
• 3/4" bushing can be converted to 5/8" with the provided shim.

What makes the polyurethane tire better than an air-filled tire?

Polyurethane flat-free tires remove the risk of punctures and air pressure maintenance common with pneumatic tires, while offering firm load support and consistent performance. The turf tread balances grip and turf protection for lawn use.

• Puncture-proof design eliminates flats and frequent inflation checks.
• Firm ride quality maintains consistent load capacity up to 500 lbs.
• Turf tread provides traction with minimal grass scuffing.

How do I confirm these wheels meet my size and load needs?

Verify your current wheel’s tire size (16 x 6.50-8), rim diameter (8"), and bearing/bushing diameter (3/4" or 5/8"). Check hub length requirements; the adjustable spacers cover many common offsets.

• Tire size: 16 x 6.50-8; rim diameter: 8"; tire width: 5.8".
• Bearing/bushing options: 3/4" standard, convertible to 5/8".
• Load capacity: 500 lbs per wheel; hub length adjustable 3"–6".

Who is this for? These SALUTE UA 16x6.50-8 flat-free wheel assemblies are ideal for homeowners and landscapers who want low-maintenance, reliable replacements for puncture-prone pneumatic wheels. They suit owners of riding mowers, garden tractors, utility carts, and wheelbarrows who need a rugged, turf-friendly wheel with flexible hub and bushing options to match a variety of axle setups. If you prefer a set-and-forget solution that avoids flats and maintains consistent load support, these polyurethane wheels are a practical upgrade.
