I've never used studs on my tires. If you load your tires and decide to go with chains, then move the valve stems at the very top of the tire, let some air out of them (just a bit), fit the chains to your tires and then re-inflate. As ol'George mentioned, a snug fit to them will make a lot of difference in your grip. Some guys are very particular about their driveways or sidewalks, so if you are, be careful to try to not spin your tires if they slip because they can leave marks on your surfaces below. Great time to ride in the snow!

When installed correctly they work as designed and don't rotate or slip on the tire.
It only takes a little time to do it once correctly, after that they install easily and are custom fitted.
I'm working on that. These chains needed a couple repairs and didn't have proper fasteners. Hopefully the parts I ordered last night will take care of that.

I have a GT3200 with a blower, cab, diff lock, 75lb wheel weights, turf tires, and chains. My opinion on ag tires is that they are what you use in the garden and not ideal for snow or ice use. Ags are also very hard and not a comfortable ride for year round use like mowing. Your setup should already do quite well and I don't think ag tires will be an improvement. If you want to replace the tires and gain some more traction I would suggest Carlisle All Trails or similar ATV style tires.

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.
