SALUTE UA 16 x 6.50-8 Riding Lawn Mower Wheel 2-Pack — 8" Rim, Adjustable 3"–6" Hub, Switchable 3/4" or 5/8" Bushing, Turf Tread

If you need dependable replacement wheels for a riding lawn mower, garden tractor, or utility cart, this 2-pack supplies ready-to-install 16 x 6.50-8 tires mounted on 8" rims. Each unit is a tube-type, 4-ply rubber tire featuring turf tread for traction with minimal turf damage, a rated load capacity of 615 lbs, and an adjustable hub system that stretches from 3" up to 6" using supplied spacers and washers. The factory-installed 3/4" bushing can be swapped to 5/8" with the included shim, making these assemblies fit many common models including older and current John Deere, Craftsman, and generic garden tractors.

How do these wheels adapt to different mower models?

Each wheel ships with an original 3" hub length and a set of spacers and washers that let you extend hub length stepwise up to 6" for a custom fit. The kit also includes a shim to change the bearing bushing from 3/4" to 5/8", widening compatibility with different axle sizes.

• Original hub length: 3"; extendable to 3.5", 4", 4.5", 5", 5.5", and 6" with supplied spacers.
• Supplied 3/4" bushing; 5/8" shim included to switch bearing size.
• Works with many John Deere and Craftsman models plus generic garden tractors.

What performance can I expect on turf and uneven ground?

The tire’s turf tread pattern balances grip and gentle ground contact to reduce tearing the grass while maintaining traction on slopes and wet conditions. Being pneumatic and 4-ply, these tires cushion bumps for smoother rides compared with solid wheels.

• Turf tread profile minimizes turf damage and improves drainage.
• 4-ply rubber construction offers sidewall resilience and load support.
• Rated load capacity: 615 lbs per wheel — suited for small tractors and carts.

How easy is installation and maintenance?

Installation requires basic hand tools: remove the old wheel, swap bushings or add spacers as needed, and secure the assembly to your axle. Since these are tube-type tires, periodic air-pressure checks and tube inspections will extend service life; keep pressure per your mower’s specifications.

• Tube-type tire requires inflation and occasional tube checks.
• Simple bushing change from 3/4" to 5/8" using included shim.
• No special tools required for hub-length adjustment beyond standard hand tools.

Will these wheels fit my lawn tractor right out of the box?

They’re designed to fit many popular small tractor and mower applications, but fitment depends on your machine’s hub offset, bearing size, and axle length. Verify your existing tire sidewall, bearing diameter, and hub clearance before purchase to ensure a proper match.

• Check existing tire sidewall for 16x6.50-8 sizing confirmation.
• Confirm bearing/bushing size (3/4" or 5/8") and available hub length space.
• Not intended for highway use—built for off-road and lawn equipment only.

Who is this for: This 2-pack from SALUTE UA suits homeowners, landscapers, and small-farm operators who need a rugged, adaptable replacement wheel for riding mowers, garden tractors, utility carts, and wheelbarrows. Choose these assemblies if you want a balance of turf-friendly traction, adjustable hub spacing, and the option to change bushing size to match older or nonstandard axles.
