m7040 speaks my kind of language! Traction is all about weight and balance.
R4's are excellent for some things. Heavy use on solid surfaces is one of them. The are sort of good on lawns, but still mark. Sort of good on tillage, but lack traction. They fill with mud quick. But they do look neat!
If you do go for R1's, you will probably have to get different wheels too. Trade value is about 1/3 - 1/2 of new. You may as well keep with them or else bit the bullit at get a second set of wheel's & tires and try and sell the R4's on ebay or craigs list.
If you do get R1's, over buy on capacity. Higher capacity is also more durable in most cases. I think kubota sells them with 4 ply, but you can get 6 or 8 ply from the tire stores.
