I have 2 different styles tri ribs.

Deerstone tires:

Notice the center rib is wider. This tire was purchase from Miller tire at a tractor show:
http://www.millertire.com/

This is the other style tri rib that is on my 149

All 3 ribs are the same width. The name on the side of this tire is GBC. This tire was purchase on ebay.

Both tires are good handling-steering tires. Neither tire is hard on the lawn.

Dieseldog....I got my Deestones at a small engine show--brand new tires already mounted on brand new rims with new bushings----2/$100. Sorry, but I don't know the vendor, sorry. I can tell you that I like them a lot better than the wide ones that were on there. In fact all of my cubs now have narrow tires on the front!!

Merk,

Are the ones from Miller the Greenball brand they have listed under the pulling category? They are nice looking and wouldn't mind a set myself. I just want to make sure I order the right ones.

Both sets of tires are 4-5 years old. Best thing to to is go to dealer or get a picture of the tires.

I got my 4 x 8 tri ribs from smalltires.com. They are Deestones and cost $21 each plus shipping. I also got the tubes from them at just under $6 each.

Sorry to resurrect such an old thread, but I just bought a set of narrow wheels for my 1450, and have some 4.00-8 tri ribs on order. I need to make my Cub narrower to fit though a gate, but I assumed I would have to put up with poor flotation, etc in a trade off compared to the stock 16x6.50-8 tires.

Cub Cadet 123, I'm curious, why do you actually prefer the narrower tires?

-Charlie

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.
