Default New Rear tires for 105

I'm looking for new rear tires on my 105. Currently the tires on there look like some kind of turf tires and are pretty old and cracked, I'm thinking they must have tubes or else they'd be losing air.

My current biggest issue is they have terrible traction. I'm guessing with how old they are, the rubber is just very hard, which causes the traction issues.

Do these tires on Amazon seem good? Current tires on there say 23x8.5-12, so I think these should fit.

Main use is mowing the lawn and pulling a little trailer around the yard.

Off brand tires don't seem to last like a set from a quality brand, they always seem to dry crack much faster and they are usually smaller in size compared to a name brand. If I were you I'd spend a little more and get some of these Carlisle's.

Whats your terrain like? If you are in eastern NC and flat as a pancake most anything will do. From the Piedmont back west I suggest something a little on the aggressive side. That said, we have a 66 Deere 110 with original tires and I remember it spinning like crazy when I was a kid, of course me only weighing 75 lbs at the time didn't help either. Running a 128 Cadet with ordinary old Carlisle turf tread and it does a really good job except ditch banks--then I just shift my weight to the high side. Got an 1811 with ags--that thing will go anywhere. It bites the ground so good I think it would roll over before it even thought about sliding. Heck it has so much traction you don't move the hydro lever real fast or the front end will pop up.

If I remember correctly your mower doesn't have wide and stout fenders so shifting your weight isn't really an option on hillsides.

I'm in the Piedmont area. My back yard is fairly slopped. Not that bad, but if I stop on the hill I generally can't get going again and if I'm towing anything, I need to get moving at a pretty decent speed to get up it.

Would ags be bad for the lawn? My primary purpose for this is mowing the lawn, so I wouldn't want to get any tires that would be too hard on that.

Ags do fine on turf. That's all I use. Get lug tires and be happy. Turf tires suck anyway.

I just acquired a machine with lugs last year and it is remarkable how well they perform. An no, I haven't seen any damage to the lawn,, they love this red clay and rocks! Sorry for the poor pic, I rarely take "good" shots of the machines once they are running/operational.

I mow with AG tires and don't have an issue with them damaging the yard. They actually do less damaged than the turfs because they don't spin and tear up the grass.

I just got finished mowing with the 782D with ags. The ground is really really soft because it has rained about 2 inches since Friday. There was no damage to the yard . In spots I can see where the paddles have made an impression but I doubt it's any different then what would happen with turfs and the marks will be gone by tomorrow.

IMO agreed. Turfs make more damage because they are bald and spin easier.

Yea but, if the AG tire is not there in physical respect to be able to tear up a yard, then that's a problem,

I can't wait to try out my new bar 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.
