Cub 72 needs tires!
 

My Cub 72 is in need of new tires, they appear to be original!

I am looking for some front tire recommendations. I want to give it more of a "tractor" look, my local farm supply store just has wheelbarrow tires. I would like to get something like the Deestone 4.00-8 ribbed tires. Does anyone on the forums have any experience with them? Will they fit my stock wheels? Or does anyone have other recommendations?

Thanks!

This tire is on my IH Cub Cadet 100 (Deestone) :

Both are great steering tires. I like the Deestone look better.

I had the deestone's on my 122 and I really liked them, they looked great and steered easy.

Deestone's look good, and seem to steer easy... And don't cost a arm and a leg.:beerchug: Got em' on the "O"

Sounds like the Deestones are the way to go. Thanks for your feedback.

I posted once upon a time, a picture of those deestone tri-rib tires. In the picture it shows that there is a very small footprint for that tire, making steering exceptionally easy. I compared them to the narrow ag tires for the front, which also have about the same footprint and steer comparably the same. I have both on my cubs and do not notice the difference of one or the other.
