Horse Play 393 #1 Posted October 21, 2017 My 857 is in need of new tires and I cannot find anything in16x5.50-8. Does the 5.50 mean the width of the tire or the wheel? What are other widths of tires can I run on my original wheels that are not too narrow or too wide? Thanks for any help! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Two different brands can be quite different in relation to one another. Usually up or down a size is no problem Hopefully another 857 owner can chime in with usable tire sizes for you. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 11,639 #3 Posted October 21, 2017 I would suggest going with 16-6.50-8's. Common size and they will work well with your wheels. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mounted numerous 6.50's, excellent fit on the 8" wheels. Fast delivery, good price, from Miller Tire. http://www.millertire.com/categories/lawn-garden-tires/16x6-50-8/ Edited October 21, 2017 by Tankman 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Horse Play 393 #5 Posted October 21, 2017 Thanks, guys. Bummer there are no sawtooth treads in the 6.50 width; looks like 4.80 is the widest and that's probably too narrow for my wheels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ol550 830 #6 Posted October 21, 2017 (edited) There are a few somewhat sawtooth tires avaliable in 16X6.5-8 avaliable on that popular auction site. Edited October 21, 2017 by ol550 Picture 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
