Default What is the best tires for snow use...??

What tire would be the best for snow duty? They both will be weighted and have 2 link snow chains.

I have ran both in the snow before and the ones on the left don't hold the snow as much as the ones on the right, since it has channels and not "pockets". Of course the chains are going to give you grip for either one, but without the chains, I have always had better traction with the left ones.

With chains you shouldn't notice any difference between the two since the traction is from the chains, not the tire tread.

As it was said above, both tires would be equal since you said you were putting chains on them...

I guess I'll run the newer style "turf" tires since they have almost no weather damage to them...

My vote is left. Narrower tires are preferred in snow. Plus the tread pattern looks better IMO.

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.
