No reason to add fluid to the steer tires.
agreed! We run tubes with water also... keeps it from rusting the rim... I knew the calcium chloride was very heavy per gallon.. did not know the beet juice was...

I like tubes too. I just dropped off the new set of 8 ply Firestones to the new Millennial run tire store near my house the other day and they said they couldn't put the tubes in because they were too tight. They also used ether and that didn't seal the bead so they had to pump them up to 120 psi and they finally sealed. So now I'm stuck with tubeless 8 ply's. I won't be going back there either because they charged me $40 to mount 2 tires....welcome to Atlanta.

Funny thing is, I originally mounted these tires on the original SGT rims and couldn't get the second side on so I took it to a different tire store and that dumb*** got 1 rim done and on the other he shoved the tube down in the rim and put a tubeless valve stem in. I won't be going back there either.

What would you guys use in this situation besides find another tire store?

I mount my own.....

But seriously. I had to have some tire work done recently, and I wasn't happy with it. Not many options in my area. I made them redo the work, 3 TIMES until they got it right.

Jon, I do too. I will never ever buy 8 ply's again. 4 ply's are easy to do but these were freaking impossible. I laid them out in the blistering Georgia sun hoping they would be more flexible but I was wrong. I bent the crap out of the first set of rims and said a lot of bad words too.

EricWww,

If you are spinning tires cutting grass, you should look at chains. I run chains all year as my lots are both on steep hills. Chains eliminate any need for fluid, though fluid helps a little pushing snow. But chains are much more effective for traction than 50-100 lbs of extra tire weight.

There's all kinds of bead sealers on the market. I've actually used some in the past when im in a bind but made the decision that I would never try to get them off again, rusty rim surface, bad bead area, etc. Those 8 plys sound awful Todd. And I will admit when the ratchet strap doesn't work for the 4 th attempt its been known to hear some loud noises of ether exploding around my house with the addition of choice words as well. Definite disclaimer however, do not try this at home.

I've mounted 8 and 10 ply pickup tires and semi tires (14 ply) by hand before. Oh yeah. I feel your pain. Those rims are heavier though, so you can get rougher.... but it still sucks. I remember you talking about mounting those before. Probably don't need 8 ply anyway. If I remember, you got a good deal on those.

Our tire dealer said that with rim guard tires should be mounted tubeless because it acts like a sealer, he is a third generation tire dealer and keeps 4 service trucks busy most of the year doing tractor tire repairs.

But if it's in a tube, it doesn't matter.... because the bead can't leak......

I'm lucky, my tire guy mounts a 26X12-12 for $5.00 and has a special set of grippers for his tire machine so he can even do the little front rims. Maybe 5 minutes for a pair. No charge if I buy the tires from him.

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.
