Bigger tri-rib fronts?

Postby Matt Kirsch » Thu Oct 15, 2015 10:35 am

I've been poking around for a set of tri-rib tires for my 1967 Cub that are a little bigger than the standard 4.00x12 to match the beefier 9.5x24's on the rear. Not finding much in the usual online sources.

Is there such as thing as a 5.00x12 in a tri-rib?

Never seen a 5.00x12 tri-rib. You're probably stuck with 5.00-12 ag lug tires or 5.3x12 trailer tires if you want to go bigger and keep the 12" rims

There are two ways to get enough Cubs. One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.

Just an update: I found 5.00-12 tri-ribs at simpletire.com. Their prices are awesome ($28.99 for the tire), until you factor in the shipping ($17+ per tire), then they're so-so.

The '67 has these "LeCar" tires on the front of it now. Steel belted radials, and they're in perfectly good shape. But, I've had the tractor for over 10 years and I've always wanted it to have real tractor tires on front.

Nice find! I have checked out that website before, but have never ordered anything from them.
