Description
xThese are two 16 x 6.50-8 tubeless riding lawn mower tire-and-wheel assemblies with turf tread, selectable 3/4" or 5/8" bushings, and an adjustable 3"–6" offset hub.
If you need a direct replacement wheel for a riding mower, garden tractor or utility cart, this 2-pack from SALUTE UA gives you heavy-duty 16" pneumatic tires mounted on 8" rims. Each assembly is built to support up to 615 lbs and includes hardware to adapt hub length and bearing size so the same wheel fits a wider range of machines. The tires use turf tread and a higher rubber content to balance grip and surface protection for lawns.
How do these wheels adapt to different mower hubs and bearings?
The assemblies arrive with a 3" hub length and a 3/4" bushing installed, plus an accessory kit to change hub length and bushing diameter. Swapping spacers or the shim lets you reach hub lengths up to 6" and switch to a 5/8" bearing where required.
- Included spacers: four 1/4" nylon, four 1/2" nylon, two 0.08" zinc washers.
- Original hub extends from 3" to 3.5", 4", 4.5", 5", 5.5" and 6".
- Change 3/4" bushing to 5/8" with the supplied 5/8" shim.
What are the dimensions and load limits I should expect?
Each tire measures 16" in diameter with a nominal width of 5.6" (16x6.50-8). The rim diameter is 8" and the wheel assembly is tubeless. Load capacity is listed at 615 pounds per wheel, suitable for many riding mowers and light garden tractors.
- Tire size: 16x6.50-8; tire diameter 16"; tire width approximately 5.6".
- Rim diameter: 8"; tubeless construction for easier mounting and maintenance.
- Load rating: 615 lbs per wheel under recommended inflation.
How does the tread and rubber compound affect lawn and traction?
The tires feature a 4-ply construction with turf-style tread designed to reduce lawn scuffing while maintaining traction on grass or packed soil. The higher rubber content improves grip and water dispersion without the aggressive lugging of off-road tires.
- Turf treads minimize turf damage and provide predictable steering on lawns.
- Improved rubber formulation resists slips and sheds water for better traction.
- 4-ply construction balances durability with ride comfort for garden work.
Who is this for: This 2-pack is aimed at homeowners, landscapers, and small-farm operators replacing worn rear or front wheels on riding lawn mowers, lawn tractors, garden tractors, carts, and wheelbarrows. If you need a versatile, heavy-duty replacement that can be adapted for different hubs and bearing sizes, this SALUTE UA assembly offers a practical, affordable option. Confirm your current tire sidewall, hub length and bearing diameter before ordering to ensure the correct fit; these wheels are not intended for highway use.

Q: Can the wheel hub be extended to fit my mower axle?

Q: Does this assembly include the correct bushing for my mower?
A: It includes a 3/4" bushing and a 5/8" shim so you can convert the hub to accept a 5/8" bearing if needed.
