The correct size that will replace your 16.5 x 6.5-8 tires is 165/65-8; we do carry these tires in stock, the Kenda Loadstar # AM1HP22. These tires fit 8" x 5-3/8" rims, have a load range of C, speed rating of 65 mph and maximum capacity of 800 lbs at 70 psi. I have added a link to a video review of these tires for you to take a look at.

Hello, I’m in need of some expert advice. I have an atv pull behind mower with 16x6.5-8 inch tires that are not highway legal. I would like to replace those tires with a set that are highway legal. What is your recommendation? Thanks in advance. Sincerely, Anthony

@Anthony I have a tire that will work for you Anthony. It's the Loadstar K399 Bias Trailer Tire - 165/65-8 - Load Range C # AM1HP22. This tire will be about a 1/2" taller, it is street legal but only has a speed rating of 65 mph. This is the best option we have for you.
