Hey guys!!

Now here's my question. I have 26 x12-12 tires on my 1882. Do I have to stay with the 12" tires? Or can I go to 10.5"? Are there any advantages to the 12" wide tires?

Man, I guess I should have said QUESTIONS

I'd stick with the 26-12-12's. Any smaller diameter will slow the tractor down, as the supers have a slightly different reduction ratio than the standard GTs. In addition, it'll just plain look stupid with smaller tires on it.

Hey papaglide!!!! How's it going good buddy!!!

Papaglide, since you're only wanting to change the width of the tire and not the height of the tire. I'd say you can play around with the width of the tire, just make sure you stay with the same height. As for the advantages of using a 12 inch wide tire. Well I would honestly have to say that I really don't know if there are any real advantages to running a 12 inch wide tire except for the fact that you have a more cushioned ride on the rear. Especially if you're running flotation tires. And you also have a little bit more support on the rear also. And honestly that's the only advantages that I can think of. But like I said, go ahead and try a pair 10.5 wide tires on the rear and see how it works out. Just make sure to stay with the same height. Hope this helps??? Take care good buddy!!!


MATT

the wider the tire, the less psi is put to the ground, i.e. less ground compaction, but you also have more tread put to the ground. thats why farmers run tracks,duals or even triples on their big tractors. More traction, yet less ground compaction. i know in the mud people want more tread, but in other conditions less tread is in order.

Thanks for the input everyone.

Matt G.: I wouldn't ever change the diameter, I agree it would look silly!

MATT: Thanks for the input! I could put a 10.5 tire on a 12" rim?

placeebo effect: If I understand correctly, the wider tire better for turf, the narrow tire better for traction in the snow and dirt i.e plowing, maybe?

The 26-12-12 tire uses an 8.5" wide wheel. So does the 23-10.5-12. However, I don't think you're going to be able to find a 26-10.5-12. I have never heard of/seen that size.

You want an wide tire when you want don't want to sink, i.e. mowing, muddy terrain, etc. and a narrower tire for snow removal and sometimes for dirt plowing...depends on the conditions somewhat.

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.
