Default 25x10x12 rears with 16x6.5x8 fronts?

Cub 149
Got a pair of 8 ply Kenda bear claw tires for the rear.
Wondering if I can use the less expensive 16x6.5x8 V61 tires up front.
I figure the rears will sit the frame 1 inch higher off the ground.

A lot of people have used the Vredestein V61's on the front.

Compared to the 18x8.5x8 V61 tires that would raise the front end the same as the larger rears.

I am confused as to your inquiry.

Yes, the less expensive 16x6.5x8 V61 will work.

Default Bigger tires

I don't believe you will be able to get the front to rear deck adjustment that you need with 25 inch tires on rear and stock tire size on front. Going to the 18 inch on front probably would be better but I have never tried this. Some one with more knowledge will probably chime in. Have a great day.

I'm not worried about using the deck. It's going to be used for push pull duty.
Smaller it is then.

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.
