Tire recommendation on 1450 needed
Got a tire question- first I'm sure the "high floation" tires on my 1450 are the original ones from the late 70s. I don't recall my parents ever replacing it. The fronts are the smooth ribbed ones, the back ones look like turf tires. The ground was a little damp the other night and the traction was horrible with the rear wheels just spinning. However, that was out of the ordinary I usually would not mow when it's wet out.
I'm considering replacing the tires- they don't look "that bad" as no splitting was noticeable and the rears have plenty of tread but both front and rear are somewhat hard. This was only used for lawn mowing and will continue to be used for that purpose- no tilling or other earth moving use. Also the lawn is fairly flat, no huge ruts or other weird terrain. I *may* do snow plowing with the plow but i'd get the tire chains and wheel weights too. Tire specs: Front 16 x 6.50-8 Rear 23 x 8.5-12 I'm planning to keep using them and perhaps replace next year- from my steering thread- it was recommended to use narrower tires for better tracking and less steering effort. I'm considering these tires- Carlisle Turf Master Lawn & Garden Tire both front and rear- seem to get good reviews. 1) Are my original, likely almost 40 year old tires still good? I was reading how ag/tractor tires last ALOT longer than street tires. 2) Are these tires good for my needs? 3) Should I stick with the OEM sizes or should I bother resizing? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005O5WKX6...41MZYT47&psc=1

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.
