Height of the tire has no bearing? Oh, so you can drive on 20" of snow with a 12" tire? No. The tire meets the ground. I can drive in 20" of snow with my truck though.... so, yeah. Height matters.

While I may not get 30" of snow a year, we get plenty.

Tire height was not a relative issue to the subject. We were comparing wide Vs Narrow. But to answer your question. No.. height should not matter especially with a blower. The front tires should be in the cleared path from the blower. Our average is 30" year. We typically get closer to 50-60" a year

I'm not missing anything. No one asked if changing the height of the tire would help. The question was on width

No shit. My point is on a 12" tall tire the width doesn't matter in my opinion. It's really an opinion. Not worth debating. Just drop it for god sake.
You like narrow, I don't think it matters. I've used both, I don't see a nickles worth of difference. Not worth changing rims to go to a different tire size in my opinion. Not for snow.

Thanks. I tried the one row of #40 roller chain in the center of the front tires on a WH I used to own. It was better than not having it on. I might try that. I hope I don't have to add the extra expense of rims and tires!

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.
