Front tires

[rwairforce]

I just refurb my working 1440 Cub. I put Ags on the rear and those are awesome.
What tires would you guys suggest I consider for the front? I have the Cub original that came on it when I bought it in 1998. Thanks.

Sorry for the double post but this may be a better picture.

id go with a ribbed tire if it were mine.

The V61's would look great on your cub. They are on my 782 and 1872.

I prefer the Firestone tri rib from Miller Tire.

I to would go with the Firestones ribbed from Miller Tire. I have a set on my 149 and being 4 ply they can be a bear to mount.

I think I like those V61s for my 1440 and the tri-rib for my older Cubs. I think those thinner tri-ribs would look sweet on my 72. Thanks. Now I can start shopping.

I like the look of the ribbed front tires. Other than achieving more of a tractor look, is there any reason you guys are using them performance-wise? I could maybe see the benefit if you are gardening with say a tiller on the rear, or possibly working in snow. But for average lawn mowing is there any benefit?

I am wondering the same thing. I am guessing that sharp turns in the lawn with the tri-rib will tear the lawn, just like a full size tractor. But I also think that they will look really cool on my Cub. And since I already have another lawn mower, I plan to go the tri-rib path. Looking cool wins.
