I have a MZ 52 LE mower. I also had a problem with wheel spin and thought wheel weights would solve the problem. The problem occurred when mowing around landscape objects such as small diameter mulch beds around tree trunks. I had to swing the mower deck against the bed and back up to cut the grass. If you try to go forward and follow the bed, the left rear wheel would start running on the bed. Anyway, I talked to my dealer about my problem and asked about adding weights. He said he could get me weights, but he had another solution to the problem, Carlisle AT 101 tires mounted on wheels. The tires were 2 inches larger and 2 inches wider. The price for the tires and wheels were only a few dollars more than the price for the weights and I would still have additional expenses to get mounts for the weights. He also told me that if I did not like the AT 101's, he would buy them back. I agreed to the deal and I am glad I did. The wheel spin has been greatly reduced. I can tear up grass if I lock a wheel and do a zero turn. I have learned to do what I call a modified "Z" turn. I turn part of the way and then back up to complete the turn. This way I keep all wheels turning and do not tear up grass. These tires also work well on hills. I have better control and traction. Here are 2 pictures to show the different tires.

I also had to adjust the mower deck due to the larger diameter wheels. I did this without difficulty. If you are interested, I will be happy to share with you what I did.
