Here are a set of 23 degree firestones They seem to have great traction, I like them better than the tru powers, though they cost a bit more. Not to say the tru power isn't a good tire, but if flotations are in the budget you will love them!

I agree with Ben. I like the Firestones better then the Carlisle.

That is something a bias tire can not do.
That looks very awesome! Looks like it's time for a body lift though!

I think I have decided... If I buy actual "new" meats for the Cubs, I'm going with ATV tires, drilling them (very carefully) and having them studded.

I happen to work for a very large tire manufacturer... I may have to start complaining (daily... until they fire me) to our off road division that we don't offer good meats in more "normal" sizes...

...most of our Ag tires start out at a 50,000lb shipping weight.

Once you try the ATV's, you will forget chains, and studs!!

That is why I do not need the lift, heck, I got 3/16" of clearance!!

Ummm... From what I can tell around here, enough is NOT enough, which is also how I do it to it as well... Steel studs are the way to go. If I pioneer that (as well as my crackpot deckwax), then cool!

That said, a body lift on a cub is about as easy as a Senior year Freshman prom date!!

HOOK IT UP AND MAKE IT LOOK BADASS!!!

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.
