Traction wise you might be as good as R4 on totally dry soil but I doubt it. One big advantage of R4 over turfs is thicker wall and tread so fewer flats. If you run over enough red bugs you will get a flat on turfs where as R4 are usually 8-12 ply and much thicker rubber for the treads. If you have turfs dont stop where your dog took a leak or you might not move out of the tracks especially if on a hill.Not to hi jack your thread, but Im looking at getting a new LS and wondering the same thing. If were talking dry conditions, does the R4 have anything over the turf tires? For plowing snow wouldnt turf and chains be better then anything else? Ill be doing mostly mowing with some disc or tiller work and with 4x4 I cant see needing anything more then turf tires, but no experience to say for sure. Short of running a plow, I cant see any need for ag tires.
