Default Cub 72 needs tires!

My Cub 72 is in need of new tires, they appear to be original!

I am looking for some front tire recommendations. I want to give it more of a "tractor" look, my local farm supply store just has wheelbarrow tires. I would like to get something like the Deestone 4.00-8 ribbed tires. Does anyone on the forums have any experience with them? Will they fit my stock wheels? Or does anyone have other recommendations?

Thanks!

This tire is on my IH Cub Cadet 100 (Deestone) :



This tire is on my IH Cub Cadet 149 and 70:


Side by side:


Both are great steering tires. I like the Deestone look better.

Deestone's look good, and seem to steer easy... And don't cost a arm and a leg. Got em' on the "O"

Sounds like the Deestones are the way to go. Thanks for your feedback.

I posted once upon a time, a picture of those deestone tri-rib tires. In the picture it shows that there is a very small footprint for that tire, making steering exceptionally easy. I compared them to the narrow ag tires for the front, which also have about the same footprint and steer comparably the same. I have both on my cubs and do not notice the difference of one or the other.

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.
