In my experience, a narrower tire will do better in the snow than a wide one, because the wide tire tends to ride on top of the snow, while the narrow tire digs down into the snow, i.e., there's more pressure on a smaller contact patch. |
That's not a snow tire. That's a reproduction of the turf tire that came on the original Cub Cadet and other garden tractors of the era. You can put them on a 127. Just get a set of 5" rims.
