13x5.00-6 Flat Free Lawn Mower Tire and Wheel (2-Pack) - Smooth Turf

In this review the AR-PRO 13x5.00-6 flat free tire and wheel (2-pack) is examined for homeowners and landscapers who need a low-maintenance front wheel for riding mowers and zero turn units. The single biggest reason to consider these is the solid PU foam construction that eliminates flats and offers a smooth turf tread that minimizes damage to grass. Installation is straightforward on many machines and the package includes extra bearings and spacers, making it a practical replacement for those who want fewer tire worries and a gentle footprint on lawns.

Key Features

• Flat-free solid PU foam: The solid foam construction resists cuts and punctures so users can mow without worrying about flats or frequent repairs.
• 13x5.00-6 size: The 13 in diameter and 5 in section width fit many front wheel applications for zero turn mowers and garden tractors, providing a common replacement size.
• Smooth turf tread: The smooth tread pattern reduces tearing or scuffing on delicate grass while still offering gentle traction during mowing.
• Included hardware: The 2-pack comes with extra 5/8 in bearings, nylon spacers and metal washers so most basic installs have the needed parts on hand.
• Centered hub and bearing options: A 3.25 in centered hub with 3/4 in bearing bore (plus extra 5/8 in bearings) helps the wheel work with a range of axle setups.

Who It's For

This product is best for homeowners, small-farm users and lawn care professionals who want a low-maintenance front wheel that will not go flat and who operate on turf or delicate lawns where a smooth tread is preferable. It is particularly useful for machines that accept common 13x5.00-6 front wheels and for users who value bundled bearings and spacers to simplify replacement.

Those who should look elsewhere include operators who need highway-rated or high-speed tires, as these are NHS (not for highway service), and anyone who requires aggressive traction for off-road or muddy conditions where a knobby tread would be better.
