Worn tires and damaged rims compromise traction, stability, and cutting precision—especially on uneven terrain. Repair Clinic stocks genuine OEM Craftsman tire and rim replacements that restore your mower's mobility and handling. Our parts are engineered to match your original equipment, supporting proper fit and durability season after season.
Replace tires and rims before they cause further damage to your transaxle or steering parts. Genuine parts support proper fit and performance and keep your mower running predictably.
Find the right Craftsman lawn mower tire and rim parts by entering your model number above. Don't guess—get exact fits for your machine.
Tire size varies by Craftsman model and deck width. Check your owner's manual or the sidewall markings on your existing tires for the correct size code (typically something like 13x5-6 for rear or 4.80x8 for front). Entering your model number in Repair Clinic's search tool will display the exact tire assemblies designed for your machine.
For even wear and consistent cutting height, replace both rear tires together if they're the same age. Mismatched tires cause uneven ground contact and scalping. Front tires can often be replaced individually unless both show damage. Check your manual for blade leveling after any tire replacement.
If your rim is bent, cracked, or has separated bead surfaces, it cannot hold tire pressure safely and must be replaced. Minor dents that don't affect tire seating are usually fine. Inspect rims for rust or corrosion that weakens structural integrity—replacement is the safest option.
No. Craftsman rims are designed specifically for Craftsman mowers to ensure proper bolt patterns, offsets, and weight distribution. Using non-OEM rims may cause vibration, improper blade leveling, or steering issues. Always use genuine Craftsman rims for your model.


Keep your Craftsman lawn mower running efficiently by replacing a faulty tire rim promptly. With same-day shipping on most in-stock items, you'll have your replacement part fast, minimizing downtime. Our model/part number lookup finds the exact OEM part for your unit, and every order is backed by our 365-day return policy and price-match guarantee. If your Craftsman lawn mower tire rim is failing — showing symptoms like reduced performance, unusual noise, or complete non-operation — replacement is typically the fastest fix. Browse our full library of Craftsman repair resources for troubleshooting guides and installation videos.
On Craftsman lawn mowers, check the frame near the blade deck, the engine housing, or, on riding models, beneath the seat for a model-number label. Clean off grass or dirt so every character is easy to read, and copy the number exactly, including dots or dashes. Enter it in the model number search to pull up the parts matched to your unit. The model number identifies the entire mower, not just its tires, rims, or another individual part, so it filters the full Craftsman lawn mower catalog to parts designed for your specific machine. That means fewer wrong orders and a faster repair.

Repair Clinic makes Craftsman Lawn Mower repair straightforward with a deep online library of videos, guides, and diagnostic articles. Step-by-step written instructions cover disassembly, testing, and reassembly, and the video library shows the same work in action so you can follow along. Use the model number lookup to confirm the exact OEM part, and wiring diagrams and part testing walkthroughs support the more technical steps.
