Deestone rears
Looking at these
http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-23X8-50-12...item4d20eeca9a they seem like a good deal. Decent tire? Comparing them with the Carsliles. Thanks

The Deestones tend to be a little shorter than the Carlisle. IMHO, not that great of a tire. Comparable to the old Super Lugs, but shorter.
Miller only wants $90/ tire for the Tru-Powers. They are a better tire. If you want a really, really good tire, go with the Firestones.

I have 3 pair of them, they do everything I ask of them, I don't see any signs of wear or damage on them.
I believe them to be a very good cheapie tire. If you need an outstanding tire, I would spend the extra money and buy something better.

Got Deestones on both of mine, bought from a local tire dealer cheaper than interweb. They work fine and are 6 ply rated.

I have them on my 149 and pushed snow with them last winter without any problems. The price suited my needs.

I have several sets of Deestone's.... I can't complain about any of them.. as everyone else says they do tend to run a bit small.. I had a tire guy tell me that that Deestone makes a 23 x 9.50-12 that is closer to what the 8.50 should be in height and width... I didn't ever verify that though..
As J-mech said... the best tire is the Firestone... it looks the best, rides the best and pulls the best.. but they are expensive.. Tru powers are a good middle of the road tire... I wouldn't turn any of them down though..

Like J and others said they are a little short. Mine only spun twice while plowing and discing this year. I have 2 sets of IH weights inside of the tire, still too lazy to load them. For the $$ they are a good tire.

Yes, the mold is a little short but I have some 6 ply deestones on the front of a full size tractor and they seem to hold up well.
What most of us cub guys really need is a good lug 24/25 inch tire that is only available it an ATV tire. I seen a pair of lug Deestone 26 x 12, 12 size tire and was wondering if they run a little short would these be just about right? Anyone try this?

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
