Default Tire upgrade

Hello all:

New cub owner here and I have a quick question. I want to upgrade the rear tires on my 1964 100. I've looked at 6-12 which I believe is standard but would like a little bigger tire. Would a 23x10.50x12 be too big or funny looking or would a 23x8.50x12 be better? Thanks

Hi! Welcome to OCC! What kind of rear tires did ya have in mind? Will they be the right tire for the job you have in mind? I prefer the 10.5 on the 8.5 rim.

Well, what rims do you have, or what rims would you intend to use? Yeah, 23x10.50's would look ridiculous on 6-12 rims. Another factor is what mower deck do you intend to use? If you get those back tires too wide a smaller deck may not fit outside the tires.

You could put duals on the rear of your 100. The advantages are that you increase your traction and weight at the same time. What are you planning to use your 100 for?

Here is a picture of my Original with duals.

I've been thinking about adding duals to my 63 cub. The main question I have that I can't wrap my brain around is how will they do in the snow? There is more weight with them, I also have wheel weights. Will the added surface area actually make it float more and lose traction in the snow? This would mainly be for snowblowing.

I’d recommend the deestone 23x10.50x12 ag tire. They are sized smaller more like an 8.50 and would look good on the 100. Here is one on the back of a 126. Also a picture of 23x10.50x12 turfs on a 102. I think they look bad but their just on it temporary til tractor gets resto treatment

23x10.50 turfs on 102. The deestone ag tires won’t break the bank and the front tri rib 4x8s are cool too

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.
