Hey eastonct124!!!! How's it going good buddy!!!!
To answer your question about the rear tires, it all comes down to your own preference. But I can give you a few choices of tires that have an aggressive bite to them. To begin with there are the Carlisle Tru Power tires with its aggressive bite. Excellent tire and are being used on a lot of garden tractor pullers. Second there is a tire called the Highlifter Outlaw Tire and it's only available in a 6 ply tire. It's was designed for the ATV's. But I have seen a few Cub Cadet Super Garden Tractors use them as there rear tires. And they seem to work very well in all conditions. Third, you could also choose the Firestone Flotation 23 G-1 ag tire. Which by the way is the tires that I have on the OL' Girl. They work very well and are self cleaning tires also. All three tires mentioned here are all available in the 26x12x12 size, considering if that's the size you want your rear tires to be. As for the rims. You can fit a 26x12x12 tire on a 8.50 wide rim. And I speak from experience. I have the 26x12x12 Firestone tires installed on a pair of 12x8.50 wide rims. And they fit perfectly. So you will not need to buy another pair of rims.Not unless you really want to. I'll post some pics of each tire so you can compare and maybe decide on what tire you'll exactly need to get the job done. I hope this helps in one way or another. Take care good buddy.
