They have to take the tire completely off the rim to add a tube?

Tire shops love not putting fluid in tubes because they can push one bead down and pour the fluid in over the bead. And blow it shut, both in about 5 minutes per tire.

Calcium corroding the heck out of a rim is due to metal exposed to the oxygen containing air inside the tire. Keep it full up so the rim never sees air and it will last long time. Or air up with nitrogen maybe.

Gene, is that $45 total? Or per tire? Because you made it sound like it was per tire. If it's total, and includes the tubes in the price, then no that isn't bad. If it's per tire..... it's still a rip off.

Ben, that sounds very reasonable and more like what I would expect.

No, they should just have to take one side off the rim.

Yes to both of these statements!! Easier to put fluid into a tubeless tire. And if your not using CaCl2 I wouldn't use a tube. You are exactly correct about CaCl2 and air. That's what I keep saying. You can do it tubeless as long as the rim is submerged. I prefer tubes with CaCl2, but that's mostly just because if you ever need to change the tire it's less of a mess.

Yeah, when I got the quote it was going to be $45 per tire. I didn't think that was all that bad because they said the tubes cost around $18 per but I guess maybe it is a little high?

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.
