Right now I have 16x6.50-8 Carlisle Tru-Power Ags on the front of my 1450 that are the same type I have on the rear. They are wearing fine and steering fine. I've added the Super Steer Upgrade, Heim joint tie rod ends and 1" spindles. I really like the tires but since they are NLA in this size, I bought another set of rims and Vredestein 5 Rib V61 Tires. Everything I've read, guys swear by these.....I guess I'll find out. I've got a new set of Firestone 3 ribs in this size too but have never tried them. You just can't wear the same pair of shoes everyday!

I would not go so far as to say that ribbed or ag tires are useless on the front. About anything on the front will work when mowing but when used with a blade or blower you actually get some better steering with a more aggressive tread than with turf tires.

Tri-Ribs from Miller Tire.
Steers like power steering.

So far my vote is for narrow tri ribs but then you need different rims too. They steer very nice and look more like a big IH. Deestone makes a nice one

I have both, tri ribs and ag's . tri ribs a good for everything you want to do.

and in order for the ags to help turn you need to put them on backwards.

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.
