Default Rim compare help

Kind of an odd request but anyone have a pick comparing 6/12 8.5/12 12/12 rims? I'm just trying to get a visual of what a 12/12 really looks like compared to the others. I have the first two but not a set of 12/12. My cub is doing great this winter moving snow but I'm still making my upgrade and wish list

Tire size is independent of rim size to an extent. The 26-12-12 used an 8.5" wide rim, as does the 23-10.50-12. The 8.50s use a 7" rim, and the 6" wide tires take a 5"-ish rim. So do you want pictures of the different tires to compare width ?

Good point. I guess I'm more interested in the tire size. Trying to get the most foot print as I can without going over board. Double rears are not an option.

For snow traction, narrow is better.

If this was my decision or better yet on my tractor I'd go for some firestone 23% 23x10.5x12 tires on custom made 10.5 wide rims from Extreme.

They will even mount them for you. If I had the bucks I'd be posting pics.

Are you going for the cool factor or function? I'll second the skinny comment by Jeff in PA. The skinnies sink in better. But, of course, have a set of the snows tires for winter only and be cool in the summer!

This is very helpful indeed. I didn't realize that a 12in wide tire could be put on all these rim widths? So how much tire foot print do I really lose putting a 12in wide tire on a 10.5 rim rather then a 12? Is it really just as simple as 1.5 inches?

Lew, how wide where the rims you sold me?

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.
