Stones are the best, but also the priciest.

We chose Carlisle Tru Powers as they were $105 each (Canada) and the lugs were mid-range in their aggressiveness which hopefully will give a smoother ride than others I've seen. We also really liked the look of them from the side when compared to other brands where the lug continues down the side of the tire further. As you can see, these lugs are kinda squared off on the edges. I'm sure that in the US, there are a number of off-shore brands that would be less expensive and do the job. For example, I ordered our tri-ribs off ebay out of the US.

I just had a thread on this exact thing. I wanted some a long while and settled on a set of Deestones from GCT http://www.greaterclevelandtire.com/...e-Super/Detail

2 tires for $212 shipped and on the tractor 38 hours or so after placing the order. They measure 25 1/2" tall aired up and are plenty wide. Very strong 8 ply tires that are much thicker and stronger than the factory 2 ply turfs. I'm very satisfied and it was the best price I found... and I shopped them a while. After I sold the other two sets I had I came out $30 or so from breaking even.

Thats where I bought mine, and I was able to pick them up. I paid $150 for the 26x12x12's and I got the front ags to for $50. $200 for 4 new ags can't go wrong and I love them.

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.
