Cub Cadet 149 front tires What should I get.
 

I am trying to figure out what tires would be best for my Cub cadet 149. It had 4ply ribs on them if only they did not have splits down the middle. Anyway the most expensive option would be the 5ply rib from miller. the most economical option would be the lawn and turf tire. the 4 ply is kinda in the middle. I do not know about the 5ply Basically the tractor is going to be used for mowing grass and the occasional plow day event. Does anyone on here mow with the 5ply and if so what is you opinion ?

I like the 4 ply carslile tire from miller. They are the only tire IMO that should go on a wide wheel. http://www.millertire.com/products/l...sle-rib-4-ply/
If I had the narrow wheels I'd go tri ribs.

Another great option is snow blower tires;

They are available in 4 ply;

:bigthink:

I just put Carlisle 16x.6.50x8 hi runs from tsc but they are two ply they look exactly like the top right picture. $39.99 which is best price I've seen. Although if I did it again I would get the vredesteins the are awesome

The first tire in my picture hd 5 rib i think will make it look nice i just do not know how well they will function for mowing the lawn and stuff. I wonder how it will steer with them tires on it.

I agree that the 4 ply rib option would be a good tire for your application. An aggressive tread may scuff your lawn a bit in sharp turns.

I bought front tires for my 1250 Nightmare from a local tire distributor. They were far cheaper than ordering them from an on-line supplier; and the rib style was very similar to the original Good Year tires that they replaced. They are 4 ply tires.

Here is the link. They may be cheaper. http://www.fargotire.com/

We have Vredestein 5 rib tires on the fronts of most of our cubs.

They do not damage the turf. They look good and are very heavy duty.

The side walls are stiff and I have had trouble with slow leaks at the beads. I put tubes in all of ours.

They are a bit pricey, but I am expecting long life from them. Hope this helps your decision.

I go the five rib my self but I get them from TIRES UNLIMITED

he like 10.00 cheaper and can get 4 and 6ply he get to deal with
where I got my for my super. I going to be getting more for my tailer and two other tractor as soon as I can found it.

What about narrow ags for the front. Handle great, steer easily and make it look more like a tractor. Well, that is what I put on my 149.

Cub Cadet 123

I bought the 5 ribs last summer and have been happy with them. They seem to be ok on the lawn and work nice for snow clearing. I think they look good too!
They are tube type tires, but I mounted mine without. One went flat this winter, probably do to a broken bead on a super cold day. My tire guy, reset and sealed it and I have been fine since December.
I also think they look pretty cool.
