Fill,
These are the rims that came on mine. I cant find the picture i wanted to post where i had a tape measure on them. But i believe they are 8" or 8-1/2" wide. I would think yours are 7" wide if you have 8.5x12s

I really like the look of the super lugs. Like you said they are wide. Unmounted they measure around 11" wide.

RPalmer, Back to your question about the tires hitting the gage wheels. I tried to put a set on the 149 tonite and its just to close to chance. Setting on the garage floor you can bolt them on,but if you start to lift the deck they hit. Never had that problem on the 1450 but it had the newer style deck where the gage wheels are mounted farther out to the side.
I think the carlisle tru-powers would clear. Even though they are 10.5x12s also, they measure about an 1-1/2 narrower over all.

I have a set of deestones that are 10.5 x 12's on the 782 and they are a bit narrower than the super lugs which I like for plowing purposes. Also they're alot cheaper than the tru pwrs.

Diz Jr.,

I'm just going to go back to the 8.50s. I like the look of the 10.50s. Maybe I'll use the 10.50s for snow removal.

papaglide,

You'll never regret it. And you may never use anything else. They are more than cool. They really work.

RPalmer,
I am wondering how these 10.5s will work in the snow. Last year i had those narrow 6-12s on it and it pushed like it had chains. I hope they will bite in good even though they are covering more ground.

Diz Jr.,

I have never seen that look before. I don't argue with what works when it's time to move snow. I would guess that the bigger the tractive patch the more traction. That looks like one clean blade. I like the big IH on the right side.

The wider the tire is the more weight you need to get them to bite. A narrow tire has more pounds per square inch on the foot print. In a snow pushing condiation you want a tire to find a hard surface to get traction.

Very true, many people think a bigger (wider) tire will give more traction, but that's not true because all things equal the weight is distributed over a wider area as Merk mention. So a narrow tire with plenty of bite will give better traction than a wide tire with the same amount of bite, all things being equal in weight. It will also take more weight than you would think to bring the wider tire up to the same efficiency than the narrow tire.

All that said, I plan to put ags on my 1450 one day as well, they sure give more traction than the turf tires, they also give the cubs a look they deserve, and complete the package so to speak

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.
