Taifa 16" Pneumatic Replacement Wheel 4.80/4.00-8 with 5/8" Bearings — 400 lb Capacity, Steel Rim

Taifa 16" pneumatic replacement tires and matching 4.80/4.00-8" wheels with 5/8" bearings are heavy-duty, air-filled wheels built to revive garden carts, wheelbarrows, hand trucks, trailers and wagons with a 400 lb per-wheel capacity.

These replacement wheels pair a resilient rubber tire with a steel rim and sealed bearing to restore smooth rolling and traction on rough outdoor surfaces. Engineered as direct-fit upgrades for equipment that uses 4.80/4.00-8" tires, they bring improved shock absorption, puncture resistance and an internal explosion-proof design for added on-trail safety. The assembly features a 5/8" bearing bore, 3" axle hole length, 8.6 mm iron hub diameter and a tire width of 3.8" to match common small-utility wheel applications.

How will these tires improve performance on rough ground?

These pneumatic tires use a deep tread and tougher rubber compound to increase grip and help prevent slippage on dirt, gravel and sand. The air-filled construction soaks up bumps, reducing vibration transferred to your cart or trolley.

• Deep tread pattern for improved traction on loose surfaces
• Pneumatic air cushioning smooths out uneven terrain
• Steel rim and heavy-duty bearings maintain wheel stability

Are these wheels compatible with my cart or wheelbarrow?

They are designed as replacements for equipment that originally uses 4.80/4.00-8" tires. Key fit dimensions to confirm are the 5/8" bearing bore, 3" axle hole length and an iron hub diameter of 8.6 mm. Measuring your existing wheel and axle before ordering ensures a correct fit.

• Bearing bore: 5/8" (check your axle diameter)
• Axle hole length: 3" to match your hub clearance
• Wheel/tyre size: 16" nominal, equivalent to 4.80/4.00-8" sizing

What durability features protect against punctures and blowouts?

The tire uses thicker rubber and carbon-black technology for abrasion resistance and environmental stability. An internal explosion-proof design helps maintain an airtight chamber if the tire is damaged, and steel rims plus quality bearings support load distribution to reduce failure risk.

• Extra-thick pneumatic rubber to resist punctures
• Explosion-proof internal sealing for safer deflation events
• Steel rim and sealed bearings for shock-balanced rolling

How much weight can each wheel handle and how should I use them safely?

Each wheel is rated for a dynamic load of up to 400 lbs. These wheels are intended for moving loads (dynamic use) rather than long-term static weight; remove heavy cargo when equipment is parked. They are not designed or certified for highway speeds or vehicle use.

• Load capacity: 400 lbs per wheel (dynamic use)
• Not suitable for static heavy storage or highway use
• Check fitment before purchase and follow manufacturer mounting guidance

Who is this for: These Taifa replacement tires and wheels suit homeowners, landscapers, small-farm operators and DIYers who need a robust, easy-to-install way to restore rolling performance on wheelbarrows, garden carts, hand trucks, wagons, dollies and light trailers. If you need improved traction, shock absorption and a higher puncture resistance than old flat-free inserts provide, these 16" pneumatic wheels offer a practical upgrade—just confirm the 5/8" bearing and overall dimensions match your equipment before ordering.
