The reason I didn't go with Carlisle AT101s in the same size is because the mounted width is 12.2", which according to my measurements will put the right side up against the gas tank and possibly rub a hole. The Kenda tires are 11.89 and the rounded corners will work better for me as the tractor duty cycle is 95% lawn mowing, 2% yard work, and 3% pulling the jet ski trailer. I'll post some pictures when I get them filled and mounted.
Can't wait to see the new tires!

Here are the new tires. They fit nicely and raised my rear about an inch from the stock cub tires.

One word of caution for people considering these. You have to be very careful in the turns or you will tear up your lawn. In heavy grass areas it's fine, but in lighter areas where the tires can bite some dirt it leave a distinctive mark especially if you turn. On the bright side, I do enjoy the extra traction. I don't even have to engage the diff lock up hills.

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.
