Replacement Wheel and Tire Recommendation for Tire Size 16x6.50-8

Question

Question:

I am looking for a replacement wheel rim and tire for a log splitter. The current wheel is 16x6.50-8 with a 1inch bearing and 2 3/4inch hub length. Im having a tough time finding a match. Do you have anything that would be compatible? Thanks!

We have just what you need. The part # AM3H200 has the tire size you need of 16x6.50-8 and is mounted to a rim with a 4 on 4 inch bolt pattern.

If instead you need a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern you would want the part # AM3H240.

We have that tire size. For that you'd want the part #AM1HP22 for just the tire or #AM3H200 if you need the tire mounted to a 4 lug wheel or part #AM3H220 for it mounted to a 5 lug wheel.

Load range B trailer tires are going to have a lower capacity than C load range tires. Basically that, psi rating, and the ply rating are the only differences. A higher load range tire would last a little longer than lower load ranges of the same…

Your math is correct in your trailer weight load example. If a fully-loaded tandem axle trailer weighs 4000-lbs then each of the 4 tires will bear 1/4th of that load, or 1000-lbs. In this case a tire rated for 1300-lbs would provide a good safety…
