Default How often do you change tires?
As far as I can tell, the rear tires on my 2155 are the original Cub Cadet branded tires from 20+ years ago. Tread is still good but only one holds air the other I had to put a tube in.

Do you guys just keep using tractor tires until they fall apart or blow out, or do you replace them when they get old even if the tread is good?

In 2019 I replaced the rear tires on my 125 because the sidewalls were badly cracked and falling apart. I believe they were originals, so about 51 years old. That tractor also sat outside for some years before I got it, so probably had some UV light rot. Tread was still good, sidewalls were shot. It is a working tractor, not a show piece.

If they had not been in bad condition, I probably would not have bothered.

Ditto. Generally by the time they start leaking they're so hard you can just throw a tube in and have a bulletproof tire.

All of my tractors have the original rear turf tires, 40+ years old, a few have had the fronts replaced before I got them. I don’t replace them unless there is something wrong that can’t be fixed with a tube, which hasn’t happened yet. Maybe I’m just too picky, but I don’t think the old ones look right with newer turf tires. If I was going to buy new tires for any of mine, they would be ags and tri ribs, but I’m too cheap for that.

I agree with all the others. Run them as long as possible. Put a tube in it when they will no longer hold air. My front left has 3 plugs in it, no tube, and it holds air just fine. Surprises me given how thin the front tires are.

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.
