All old tires lasted way better than today. Many old American tractors are riding on tires from the 50,60,70s! Sure the lugs are not as deep so they can actually wear out faster when used but just strutting the old tires will last way longer than these new junk rubber tires will. I believe the tires on my Cub are original. There hard, really hard and have cracks everywhere but I believe them to be the tires that came on it new in 1952. My family has owned it since I think sometime in the mid 60s or so and they haven't been changed since then.It is amazing how those Japan ricer tires last. Fredricks does sell them both new and used should anyone need them. Ideally, these are for mucky fields and areas hard to travel over. One doesn't use them for turf grass mowing at all.
