Default What front tires on 100 are you running?

Hello everyone. I have a 100 and am ready to replace the front tires. They are 4.8x4-8. Turf style, tri-rib, firestone turf guide, other? I want something that is a quality tire and figured I would use a tube even if it is a tubeless. I have had better luck with a tube. What is everyone running and do they like them or would they have done something different. Thanks for any advice.
Pete

I have tri-ribs on most of my tractors and they steer great (also re-greasing the steering box helps a lot )

plus I like the look

I've got a mix of tri-ribs, turf tires, multi-rib and ags. Variety is the spice of life, I say, but I'm no purist, so it works for me.

Tri ribs seem like the way to go. Thanks everyone. We'll I ordered the firestone turf glide tires because I like the way they look, I live in the burbs so won't be using the 100 for any "real" work. Simply playing and having fun with the old boy. I assume most people are using the chevron style rear tires along with the ribbed fronts. Does anyone know what rear tires originally came on the 100? I might as well go that route since I got the old style fronts. I see the company I ordered the fronts from sell firestone town and country rears that look like the rears in some old advertisements. Are these correct or are there other options? Thanks again for the input.
Pete

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.
