Most of my cubs have atv tires. I buy them on craigslist. I can buy a set for under 100 for 4. I set a paid 20 a pair 1/2 worn which has more enough tread on them and a set brand new take offs for a 100 for 4.

The big advantage to these tires are they are radials;
![]() Once you use them, it is tough to try to get traction out of a bias tire. I still use bias, but, mostly because I can not get radials in the right size. I was running the 1000 with the blade, and radial ATV tires today. The real test of a tire is traction in reverse. The 1000 will back up a grade on sandy soil that you would expect only four wheel drive or chains could handle!! I only run 4 psi tire pressure, the footprint of the tire is L O N G !! ![]() ![]() I probably have 3-4 times as much tire touching the ground, compared to a bias tire,,, Even the 2284 has VERY little contact area; ![]() These tires are kinda like running "mini-tracks" ![]() Just letting the air out of a bias ply tire is not the same thing, you actually loose traction with low air pressure in bias tires. |

I have a 1641 the PO put a set of ATV tires on the rear. I haven't used it in several years but I remember it being pretty bouncy.

Be aware of the ply rating on ATV tires.
Most seem to be 2-ply and others with same tread are 4-ply. So keep that in mind. |

I just looked on the local CL.
Found these babies! The add says the paddles are a good 3" tall. If they made the atv float, you would have a paddle wheel boat ! |

CADplans: All the 12" ATV wheels I've seen are 4 lug, except yours. Seems a 5 lug to 4 lug wheel adapter is non-existent also. Maybe I just don't know how to search correctly. I'll keep looking for 5 lug ATV wheels though.

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.
