They didn't but that wasn't the point...some guys are riding around on 10 year old tires...at their own peril.

Mix a concoction of 1/2 Bleach and 1/2 Brake Fluid. Store it in an old cleaned out metal paint can. Put on plastic gloves, and use an old rag that you don't want any more. Dip the rag into the mix, and smear it onto the tire. Let it soak in for a day or so. If you want the tire even softer, simply re-apply the mix.

DO NOT GET THIS MIXTURE ON ANY PAINT, unless you didn't want whatever it is to be painted anymore :biggrin2.gif:

We did this to our 'old' racing tires, in the late fall, before the winter time -indoor racing season-. With 2 or maybe 3 applications, your thumbnail print would remain in the tires!...plus they were kinda 'sticky'.
Great tips. That's why I love this site!

Thanks for all the advice guys! I think I'll probably for sure go with Tru-Powers now, but I wondered if anyone has heard or found from personal experience about the quality and traction of Deestones?
Thank you in advance!

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.
