Thoughts on front rib tires
 
I like the thicker five ribs, but I don't see many with them. Any reasons? Is it because they are tubes. I found one on Google images with them. I think they really make the little cubs look stocky.

What do you guys think?

I have the v61 ribs. Didn't even notice if they are supposed to be tubed. Mine aren't. They do look sweet though.

That was my initial thought, too when I read the Title on this thread. I've never owned the wide ribbed tires, but the narrow ones turn with the greatest of ease due to the minimal surface area on the ground. Have you thought of the narrow ags on the front? I have them on 2 or 3 of mine and like the look and the handle of them.

I put tri-ribs on my 148R tractor, and I also like the look of ags on the front. Did that on my 1000 and 149...

I have the wide tri-ribs on my 782, I love them. Turns on a dime, you would almost think there was power steering on the tractor now. Didn't get to use them hardly at all in the snow yet, blew a rear seal on the KT17 shortly after this picture was taken. Have a 2 stage blower to install on it this fall and hopefully will get some use out of it this Winter?

Never has V's yet. Gotta get me some rear ag's first!

I really am liking those tri ribs on your 1650. My 129 is in need of new front tires, and I already decided that it will be getting tri ribs. (Your picture helped too.)
Do you have a part number for those, or a size? Did you mail order them? I didn't have much luck with an internet search, due to being not quite sure what I was looking for.

Thanks for any information/help.

Have to buy tubes separately from miller tire.

I like the look of the v-61. They look like the would be great for grass and soft dirt. I plan on ordering a set for the front of my 149 Tiller tractor to help me turning in that loose dirt. Plus, they look reslly cool.
