No one in this thread has been condescending. Not yet anyway..... If you think they are, your being pretty sensitive. I'm still trying to figure out what exactly it is that you want from us? Your not mounting the tires yourself, and you already bought two sets of tires. You never posted any pics of these supposed undersized tires like we asked..... So, do you need someone to get you a phone number to a local tire shop? |

I think I stated quite clearly what information would be helpful from those who may have experience with the V-61's, as well as, my initial confusion reflected in my first thread.
If I were to assume that you may not know what is OEM on this particular tractor and you actually had one of these tractors in your collection untouched since being delivered to a dealership in 1980 that you use for reference in conjunction with operating, parts, and service manuals for working on your other units of the same kind, I wonder how you would feel? If, indeed, you are involved heavily in research and read long transcripts with hefty paragraphs and after posting a thread here someone refers to your entry as a "mess" due to a punctuation interpretation by a self-proclaimed ETOH influenced member, how would you feel? If you had the utmost respect for those members who have a great deal of experience to share on this forum and the one time you could really could use some help from any of these folks with experience involving tires and rims of a Cub Cadet because you are inexperienced in anything other than OEM I think you would might feel a bit talked down to. It should be fairly obvious what kind of problems I am experiencing and what kind of assistance I am hoping to find. Ordering the first set of tires and experiencing the sizing issue I did, I have interpreted as my lack of knowledge concerning tire sizing variables within the industry. I appreciate coming to this realization through some of the replies I received on this forum from those responding in a constructive manner. Once switching to the very popular V-61's discussed heavily on this and other forums, it should also be clear, given the information that I have provided, that I am running into mounting issues. Being that I cannot mount these tires myself I am reliant on paying someone else to do so. Does this disqualify me in some way from seeking information after having the rims ruined and being told that my choice of tires and the OEM rims are to blame for this occurring? After reading about these tires being successfully used by members of this and other forums and not reading that there is some type of issue with mounting them I believe the natural reaction would be to post a thread asking about this in the hopes that someone on this forum can shed some light through experience considering the number of past posts about the V-61's. So tell me, what constructive insight or information should I take away from your reply? In what way is it helpful? When a member is down and reaches out for help how do you treat them? In my opinion, you treat them as the first three responses did after my V-61 questions last evening. Within every forum there are those who are knowledgeable and possess a genuine desire to help. It is these members I am grateful for. It is these members who have propelled this forum to the well regarded stature it holds. Again, pictures would not help in this case. |

Any 6 ply tire that is that small in diameter is going to be very difficult to get on the rim, I suggest you find a mom and pop tire shop and have them installed and if you're worried about the paint you could always what till they're mounted and the tape off the tire and paint them again.

I can't count how many times I read about people getting scratches on their freshly paint rim after mounting new tire, those V61 are a real PITA, I try to mount them and give up.
A old local service garage did it for a very fair price so like Tim I suggest you find a old service garage who use to do bias, tractor and truck tires, if this doesn't work for you find a place who do ATV tires, they charge premium but those guys deal frequently with small off road mag wheels and don't scratch them... Sorry for your rim.

Well.... you didn't state it "clearly" what you are wanting.... but as I gather, you want to know whether anyone else has bought Carlisle tires and if they were noticeably shorter than the original tire. The answer is yes. One person on here has experienced that. If others have, they are not chiming in.... or they don't see it as some kind of an issue. You also want to know if the V61's are comparable to the original tires. Well...... you are the one stating that there are loads of threads bragging on them... along with countless pics of them. Look pretty big to me. I don't know that anyone has ever done a side by side comparison of the V61 to the original tires. Again.... you have all 3 sets at your disposal. Why not post some pictures so we can see the difference you seem so adamant about exposing. Quote:

So... how would I feel. Well.... I don't know. Because my feeling would be based on a flawed sense of self education, and believing that I possess knowledge that others don't have. So, you probably felt offended, when you should have felt enlightened. Or maybe compelled... compelled to post more clearly, and perhaps even to be more brief. I guess you went with offended. Quote:
I'm still not convinced that you have "experience" in "OEM".... and again, if you feel talked down to, it's because you have a self elevated position of value. You think you're enlightened, and therefore feel offended when we question your enlightenment. Again... we don't know you, and you're really not doing a very good job at "winning us over". That's my opinion anyway. I'm sure you will contend. Which really isn't fair, as you have been pretty vocal about your feelings. I should be able to be vocal about mine, shouldn't I? Not really.... oh the problems are apparent. But the help you are seeking is not. It's obvious that you bought some tires that you didn't like. Then you bought another set that you took to the wrong place to mount, and they scratched your rims. Outside of that.... what help do you want? Again, do you need the phone number to a local tire shop? Do you want us to recommend a now irrelevant coarse of action on how to deal with the CC dealer scratching your rims? Do we need to tell you to wait until the tires are mounted to repaint the rims so that they don't get scratched again??? Offering advice on how to mount the tires is a waste of our time, as you aren't going to do it yourself anyway..... you already decided on what tires you wanted to buy.... twice.... so making another brand recommendation is also kind of a silly thing to do. So... yeah... what information are you seeking???? |

As far as having the rims "ruined" I believe it was only the paint that was ruined. Personally, I would not have painted them prior to taking them to a shop to get the tires mounted. Nor would I have used the brand of paint you did. Nor would I have allowed the Cub Cadet dealer to scratch them up without getting the tires mounted, without, at the very least, having them give you a can of paint to repaint them with. You could have even told them that you brought the tires in to be mounted, and you expect that a business that works on and sells garden tractors should be able to mount a tire, and that if they needed to find someone else to mount them, so be it. But.... accepting a rim back without a tire on it that they damaged, then gave you no more than a "sorry".... that's on you man. Nothing we can do for you there. You didn't read about any "issues" mounting them, because most of the machine owners either paid someone else to do it, and they succeeded, or they went out and mounted them like you would mount any 6ply tire. With some brute strength, and the proper tools. It is what it is..... Again, all I see this thread as is one long complaint seeking solace for the decisions you already made. Quote:

For what you seek... no. Pictures probably would not have gotten you back the money you spend on tires that you didn't like. Pictures would not have helped us help you... not for the help you desire. Good day to you. |

I take my tires to a Discount Tire. They enjoy mounting them and do it for a reasonable price.

Can't say I've ever had to change a front tire on a Cadet.
Just gonna toss out something. If the rims are offset, then you can only mount the tire from one side--the ones on my Kawasaki Mule are like that. How are the rims constructed? What I am asking is are there 2 halves and a center like an idler pulley? If so I imagine you could drill out the welds like a pulley when you replace a bearing and bolt it back together. My go-cart has 2 pc rims like that---but its over 40 years old and the rims are alum. Anyway, like has been said before, a good tire shop should handle this with minimal damage to the paint.

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.
