Cheap front tires
 

I've found these tire to be a perfect choice for the front of our narrow frames cubs. For $14 plus shipping you can't go wrong...

I bought some cheap wheels like that. They were fine till I had a flat..... Then I bent the :censored: out of the rim trying to get the tire off. They were about 1/3 as heavy as the original wheel. I'd prefer to pay more and get a little better quality. Just my :TwoCents:

I run slime in my fronts to help with flats but for the price I can put the originals back on whenever the day may come....

You might check the distance between the bearings to make sure they are the same as your Cub Cadet.

The spacing is perfect, the bearings are on the cheap side but they are replaceable and the ones out of your stock cub rims fit these.

That's a great lookin' tire setup. If somebody was on a low budget, and didn't have any heavy lifting to do, I think those would be great. Especially if you have multiple cubs and just want get one off the jack stands. :beerchug:

Agreed! I may grab a set for my 73 that I'm just tooling around the property with and running once in a while. Thanks for this post :)

Don't think you can even buy a tire alone for that price. I'd just pack the hub full with grease and run them till the die. :beerchug:

I swapped out the bearings with my old ones I feel better using them. I'm running them on 2 tractors and if I need another front tire for one of my other cubs I'll replace them with 2 of these. You can't buy a replacement 4.80 tire for this price, so getting a tire and a rim for $14 is a no brainer.... Here is a pic of the cheap bearings that they came with. I also run slime so I won't be much help when it comes to leaks.
