I got deestone 4.50 x 8 tri ribs from Tucker Tire for $60 a pair with tubes, plus shipping. I realize they aren't the size you want but they are a cheap alternative if you have a set of narrow rims.....

placeebo effect,
I have been checking for a while and that seems to be the going rate no matter where you find them. I want a set myself but hate to pay that price. They do look cool though.:biggrin2.gif:

I would be putting these on a 1450, and the size I stated is what I need. I too, have seen the smaller size for that price. The only place I have seen the size I need, is on ebay.

Just in case anyone else is interested in the Deestones, the overall diameter is roughly 16 inches uninflated.

I can't figure out why they get so much for the Firestone Tri rib, but having seen both in person I will say there has got to be twice the rubber in the Firestone.

Cool tires
I sell those on my web site and at $140.00 there is very little $$$ made on them. In fact with shipping it's very slim, www.cubclassics.com

Thumbs up
I purchased a pair with rims and all during the Small Engine Show in Portland, IN this past summer (August)for $100....I think that they are Deestone, but not for sure. I like the looks of them and the performance is a lot better than the wide turfs that I was running!! I bought them new off of a vendor up there who dealt exclusively in tires. The rims were painted and new with bushings included, too.

As an educated guess on the price of the Firestones, the price is based upon the demand. If there were a million of these Tri-Ribs being sold annually, the cost of production would drop dramatically. But since the 16 x 6.50 x 8 is a "limited" market, the cost of production is up.

I don't know this for sure, but I am guessing the Firestones are USA made while I suspect the other brand mentioned is foreign made.

As for me, when I get ready, I will being buying the Firestones.

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.
