I think gearing is what get people messed up most of the time. eventually they find a tire that works with the gearing that they have. the majority of the gear drive cubs have a 19t second. since looking for the good tire and gearing the tractor, its simpler to just find a tire that works with the gearing you have. I've noticed that its pretty common for a group of stockers in a club to do that since it works for the other guy. then everyone copies.
the circumference of the AT101 being only a 24 in tire is small. the other tires you ran were they 26x12x12 or 23x10.5x12? keep in mind 3 in. of circumference is 1 tooth higher or lower in gearing. the tires I run are usually in the 87 in range. I prefer the larger tire . when the track gets holes in it the larger tire don't fall in the hole like a smaller tire would. if it does it still has some bite since it don't fall all the way in.

Pulling NQS it used to be you carried 4 sets of tires around. put on the set that matched the track. with a 4 speed trans you had allot of choice's. now with the advancements in tires you can get away with 2 sets and the majority of the time 1 set.

the new Nichols tires and new Lawn Tecs all have pretty nice side wall flex.

Try some rubber cement between the rim and the tire when you mount the tire.

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.
