Default 1330 tire replacement
Do I have to replace the rear tires as a set or can I just replace one as long as they are both 20x10x8? The one is an actual cub cadet tire and the one I was going to put on the other side is an aftermarket. Both say 20x10x8 but the aftermarket seems larger to me for some reason. I didn't know if not replacing as a pair would put any additional stress or wear on the hydro trans. Thanks!

If they aren't the same size, it will work the differential, but hydro won't be affected. If it was mine and they aren't the same size, I'd replace in pair, and save the other good tire as a spare.

So even if they both say 20x10x8 on them they could be different sizes?

If you buy a shoe at Walmart that is a size 10, then you go buy a totally different shoe (brand/style) at Payless, still size 10, and put it on..... are they both going to fit the same? Just like shoes, not all tires are the same, even if they are the same size.

Gotcha. Am I able to put different size tires on without any issue? Say I find 20x8-8 or 18x10-8 or something similar. I don't want to invest a ton of money into it at the moment before I know how it's going to run and all.

What's the deal with the tires that are on it? If they leak and you can't stop it, just put a tube in it. For about $10 for a tube and at the most that much for someone to install it, you'd be fine.

Why is it so hard to just buy the right size tire anyway???

One is a Carlisle and the other is a cub cadet tire. I'm guessing the other cub cadet tire went flat and the just bought a Carlisle tire on a rim and put it on and then it didn't go. I went over there and found the correct rim and I was just going to put the Carlisle tire on it but then I go to thinking that this probably wasn't a good idea. I think the Carlisle may have been a used tire because there are a few shallow gashes in the side wall. I'm seeing 20x10-8 for about 60$ a piece so I buy a set at around 120 and then I use it for a while and something major breaks I'm out of luck. I was hoping I could find used tires but haven't had any luck. I figured if I came across something similar in size for a decent price I would get them if they would work.

Different diameter rear tires will throw your mower deck off level.

Just put the tire on the correct rim and see if you can get it moving again. Your not going to kill it right away if they don't match. I personally wouldn't leave it like that forever, but mainly because it will work the diff and the rear in that tractor isn't known to be super stout. But if you run it like that say, this season and buy later it will be fine.

Plus, different sizes will make it cut uneven.

Edit: Mike said it first.

Why do you buy shoes at Walmart ? Why would you buy just one? I didn't know they sold them that way. Live and learn.

BTW. Are they cheaper buying one at a time?

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.
