Default New tires for the 105

Bought some new Carlisle 16x6.5x8 tires from ME Miller to go on my 105. Very happy with them so far. I got a question though. The tires are a tubeless style, but I would prefer to just put tubes in them. However, the hole for the valve stem is in the deep side of the dish almost next to the wheel hub, which would basically be the center of the rim. Not sure if a tube would work very well with the stem turned that far down. Any thoughts?

I would go ahead and tube them, there should be no issues! I tubed some 169 wide front tires this summer and I've had good success!

I've put tubes in all my front tires. It's a tradeoff, though. It's a lot more work to fix a puncture. Tubeless, you just put in a plug and you're done.

I have attached a picture of my 147 that shows the valve stem location on the front wheel. I haven't had a 16x6.5x8 tube in my hands yet, but most tubes of this style locate the stem out by the edge of the rim, like the back tire on the 147. So you guys think the stem can be located in that hole without it being all twisted up. Otherwise, I could relocate the hole.

My 1650 has the tube valve stem in the same place I think.

For what it's worth, I bought a similar tire from Miller last April and had the guys at discount tire mount it- I told them I wanted a tube and they said it could go tubeless. I took them up on their word, and knock on wood so far, it holds air the best of the rest of the 3, and I've ran it in every type of weather minus rain, climate changes from 100 degrees F to about 10 degrees F.

I love the way they look exactly like the originals. For me that was a big reason I bought them. They work great.

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.
