I am confused after mounting new tires on one of my 1250's. I own three 1250's two of which still had original front tires. Of the two with original tires one is a 1975 with 3/4 inch spindles and the other is a 1979 with 1 inch spindles. The '79 had serious balding issues and so I purchased a new set from Miller Tire. The former owner of my '79 took excellent care of this machine and I was aware that he had put 1650 sized tires on the rear. The front tires, although balding, looked the same size as my other 1250 that also still had original front tires. The size on both were 16x6.50-8. I ordered a pair of the same size Carlisle Rib 4-ply. These are tubeless but I put tubes in anyway due to the terrain I deal with. When I mounted them and put them on, the two tractors were within 4 feet of each other, however, the new tires looked like I am running a pair of blow-up spares compared to the original front tires I removed and the original tires still on the other tractor. The pressure is correct on both pair but the new tires are smaller. Same size but very noticeably smaller. Now I am thinking I should have bought the V61's but I have no idea if they would be the correct size once mounted. Has anyone on here had this occur or are the V61's and the Carlisle Rib 4-ply just made differently? I can't stand the look of the ones I mounted but before ordering V61's I thought I would see if I could get some better info than the forum photos and info I thought I had correct. I had read forum recommendations for both of these tires from Miller but there is something wrong about the Carlisle's I chose. I want to match the original look and I do plan on asking Miller what the difference is but I figure you guys are the experts from a Cub Cadet standpoint. Any help would be very appreciated!

16x6.50x8 is the correct size. Probably just a difference in brand.

I would agree with Jon on the brands being the issue. Just because the tire size is 16x6.50-8, the only certain is the 8" wheel size...

I purchased these tires based on forum info after months of research on multiple forums.
Two specific tires from Miller were suggested multiple times on this and other forums. I was not going by just tire size. It is a shame that reproduction tires are not readily available. I just wanted it to look stock and match the deck set-up within reason. I can't see where pics would help. Sorry about not paragraphing correctly. Thanks for your help guys. |

New tires just like OEM are available. I've bought them. Maybe what you think is OEM on your tractors, isn't.
Pictures would help...... |

If I'm following what you are talking about, I had the same problem on my 147 when I bought the same tires for the front. I had bought one in 2012 and then bought another one in 2014 just to notice, although the tire size was the same, it was a smaller tire. I contacted Carslile about the problem and they sent me another tire. I ended up putting two new tires on the front of my 147 and I was happy with it. My guess is that with a bit of age they grow in size about 1-2 inches.

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.
