I've had great luck with the skinnies tri-ribs on the front. As mentioned, they make steering easier, as if you have power steering and they track very nicely to guide the cub through snow and turf. I've never used them for dirt plowing, so I cannot speak to their effectiveness there. When I put them on one of my 129's years ago, I was laughing on my victory lap with them because it seemed as though the front of my cub was resting on a cinder block and I was moving the steering wheel freely. The skinny tri-ribs sell new for between $40-$65 with tubes in them.

I agree with all this. I second the harder steering part for the "flotation" tires.
