Default Tires 20x9x8

I'm having a hard time trying to find some rear tires for my Cub 1515 (2003 vintage). I'm getting ready to Winterize her and I thought I would go ahead and replace the dry rotted leaking tires. 20x9x8 is what is on there and apparently these are really hard to find. There are some ATV tires available, but want to stick with a lawn tractor tread.

Through some research including this board some say a 20x10x8 will work just find. I have a hard time trying to comprehend how a one inch larger diameter tire would seal.

Can anyone fill me in on how well a 10" tire would seal on a 9" rim??

Thanks in advance.

The tire diameter and wheel diameter must match. However, are you sure it's not an 8" rim? In tire sizes, the first number is the nominal outer diameter, the second the width, and the third the wheel diameter. I have never seen or heard of a 9" diameter lawn tractor wheel...

Like Matt said, last number is tire size. Sounds like everyone who has suggested that tire for you is correct.

Maybe I'm measuring them wrong. From the outside of the rim to the outside of the rim (diameter across the wheel) is 9".

I think you would be fine with a 20 x 10 x 8 tire.

That is not diameter, that's the width of the rim. Diameter refers to the measurement of a circle.

Ok guys thanks.

I went over to measure my 14" Mopar wheel and the diameter is 15.5". I thought I was losing my mind there for a minute. Now I can start to hunt for some 20x10x8 AG tires.

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.
