Which tire to choose for winter...6 1/2 dozen I'm sure
So I'm trying to decide between two sets of turf tires to use for this winter (with chains, of course) that I have lying around. The set I've been using for the last couple years is getting a little long in the tooth so I figure I better replace them. One set (the set on the 1864 pictured below) will need tubed before I can load them with fluid. The set in the other picture (generic picture snagged from online) is the other set I have to choose from that would not need tubed in order to hold some ballast weight.
I'm betting I know what the consensus will be but are there any advantages to one tread pattern over the other or should I grab the set that holds air, load them, and move on? Thanks guys

Not sure you would notice much difference, the tire in the second pic may give you a little more bite. You could do a test for us. Put one of each on the tractor and report the results.

The tire doesn't make much difference. I have had bad luck with about any tire in snow, but we usually end up with wet snow and a layer of ice under it. Get yourself a set of chains and I bet you'll be a lot happier.

Any tire will be fine. I think the difference will be in the type of chains you use.
I run my turfs fully loaded with 2 link V-bar chains and 50lb JD weights. That combined with the weight of the Sims cab and I don't have any trouble with the 450 blower going up or down hill.

Thanks guys, kinda what I figured. I'm going to load the tires with however much fluid it takes to get em pretty well full (not sure how much that will be). I'm also going to throw a set of chains on them and I have the 75lbs Cub Cadet wheel weights as well as the Cab and my 200+lb butt. I don't think weight will be too much of an issue

The tire means absolutely nothing once the chains on it, you could have slicks and it wouldnt make a difference.

Depends on conditions, this could be best....
 Lol, seriously, a set of V bars on any old turf should do best.

Tire doesn't matter.
IIWM I would be doing whatever requires the least amount of work. If I could fill one w/o having to tube it, that'd be the one I use.

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.
