Great deal on 16x6.50-8 tires

[Bill D 2,189]

Got my tires.  A little misshapen.   Could make mounting fun.  For $6  each I'll deal with it.   Very happy overall.  Thanks again.

Ordered a pair - now I just need to score a couple rims so I can quickly swap out my tri-ribs whenever the yard is soft from rain.

I have a set.  PM if interested.

If you have an 8" innertube just put tubes in the tires, inflate them a little and set them out in the sun for a day,    Works wonders on wonky looking tires..

With a couple hundred new $6 tires in the hood, rims will probably be worth a $100 each.

I'll tell you what's funny ... A bunch of grown men (boys?? ) getting this worked up about a good deal on lawn mower tires! Don't take much to make us happy. 

Not sure if we have a problem or just get a kick out of the simple things. Me thinks the world would be a much better place if everyone was like this. 

Gotta wonder if this seller is lurking around here wondering what we're all on. All these horse nuts ordering all these tires!

Mounting is easy with lots of schilp n lube. It's getting them seated. The usual tricks don't work. The starting fluid method can be real fun on the 4th of July. 

Richard's got a good work around.

Thanks Bill, I should be able to score some locally. I live near a huge lawnmower graveyard.

Just pulled the tubes out of mine.    Nice and round now after 3 days in the sun.

First day for me and first set. I guess I have 5 more days for both sets  No hurry, no plans for them yet

I am so jealous. Nothing like that around here.

Pretty sure everyone here would like to walk around there! I know I would!

I ordered some May 30th.  They still haven't shipped.

[nylyon-(Admin) 7,696]

Got mine pretty quickly, just finished mounting 2 of them.  When they arrived, they were pretty out of shape, had to use the ether trick to set the bead.

I've been reading up on technique.  I read to put the tires on the rims so the beads sit on the OUTSIDE lip of the rim, and put it in the sun for a few hours.  Then use murphy's mounting grease to seal and gaps and blast it with air.

I'm going to give that a shot!
