The best turning-snow plowing-moldboard plowing tires I've used are 4-4.80x4 tri rib tires. I have 2 different styles:

If I want-need a front tire that will float on top of the ground such as tilling/landscaping I will use these:

The generator is removed....only picture I had.

Whats the actual size difference in the 4.80x4x8 and the 16x6.5x8 . Seems like an odd number sequence . The rears follow suit with the 23x 8.50x8, 23x10.50x8 etc. It is overall diameter x width x rim size correct? What is the 4.80 x 4 ?

I just traded a guy for a set of tri ribs front tires on chrome rims pretty cool can not wait to try them on something. The wierdest thing the guy wanted to sell me a set of 26X12X12 tires with chrome rims. The problem was those rear tires were 5 ribs never seen anything like that in my life. The guy said oh he used them for asphalt dead weight pulling.

Uh ok----

I just got a set of 16-6.50-8 in these

Vredestein V61



They are a deep 5 rib 6ply tire. Have great reviews from several Cubbers and JD guys alike. I'm putting them on my 1450.

There are a hand full of dealers that sell them.

Tire Place of Queens 718-894-8473

M.E. Miller Tire 800-621-1955

Premiere Tire 800-525-3031

These are the ones I know of.

I can't wait to get them mounted. So tired of the bald multi-rib tires on there now. Slide around mowing, pushing snow and really tired of having to air up one with a slow leak.

4.8-4.00-8 are 2" -2.5" thinner than 16-6.5-8

The 6.5 is 6.5" wide. the 4.00 is 4" wide.

The 4.80 means 4.8" from bead seat to outside of tire.

4.8 + 4.8 + 8 = 17.6" supposedly. But the original 16-6.5-8 from my 124 are about an inch taller than the 4.80-4.00-8 that I stole off my little simplicity.
It could be because of ply difference...I don't know.

But the width is definitely 4.00"

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.
