Are the tires worn down on the rears.
Then I would get a set of new ones.

I have 26-12-12 Tru Powers on my 1872, they're great. Same tires as in the picture Sam Mac put up. Floaty because they're wide and also get great traction.

What deck are you running? If its a 60" Haban and you are letting it ride on the ground (thats the way that particular deck is supposed to be ran--look it up) then expect trouble with unloaded turf tires. We run a 2072 and have trouble with it spinning on hillsides, especially if turning. Generally we know how to navigate the trouble spots or don't run it if the grass is wet/damp. If it does spin out, we stop, raise the deck and then pull off. The weight of the deck plus not having to drag the deck around in a turn makes a tremendous difference. Now we also run a 982 with an older style Haban--no front gauge wheels. With the added deck weight and cast iron rear end it does a lot better than the 2072.

Regarding ag tires---they are like 4WD. My 1811 has them and they are loaded. Its scary the places that machine will go. It has so much traction you have to be careful with the hydro on hard surfaces. We use it to trim/mow a lot of areas that were formerly done by a farm tractor. I used to think ag tires on a lawn mower were a waste of money, but now I am a firm believer in them for mowing if you have to deal with a lot of elevation changes.

One last comment, you can use the turning brakes to stop the spinning wheel.

I have found the actual issue to be the narrow wheels used on the supers with 12X12X26 tires making the tire contact area to be round and very small. Out of the 12" tire width only 4" to 6" inches is in contact with the ground. On the later 2182's the tire that say "cub cadet" on them are a better designed with more tread width on the ground. Installing wider rims (10.5 or 12 inch) as used on pulling tractors help considerably. Ag tires are hard on the turf when the ground is soft and adding weights or fluid to the tires will start leaving ruts in your yard especially in areas you trim around such as trees and boarders.

Used to fight that a lot with my 2182, two years ago I changed it over to Tru Powers, put 55lbs of Rim Gaurd in each tire and put a set of wheel weights on it. It's like a new machine now and hardly ever spins.

People think the Ag tires will tear up grass but what tears up grass is a spinning tire, if you can maintain traction turf damage is greatly reduced.

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.
