I make a 5 mile trip a few times per year with my L5740. The first time I lit up the flashers and cruised away at max speed. After arriving at my destination, I noticed a bit more wear on my front tires than I would have liked - not ruined by any stretch, but still more than I was happy about. The rears showed no signs of wear. On the return trip, I made a few changes, and the results were much better; no noticable wear. First, I took some weight off the front end by removing the bucket from the loader - that traveled in the back of my truck. I also reduced my speed considerably from around 15 mph to 5 mph. Obviously the trip took 3 times longer, but the results were far better. I left the box blade on the 3PT there and back. It's a nice bumper for tailgaters. YMMV. :tractor:
PS - I have R1s on my machine, R4s will definitely fare better on pavement...
