After 10 hours on the TC 29D, I found myself wishing for industrial tires. It was muddy and wet and I was backing into my garage (in 2WD). The floor is smooth concrete with a 2” lip at the door opening. My rear tires started to spin on the concrete as the front tires came to the lip. If only I had the R4 tires. I am sure they would have pulled me right through. In all seriousness, I am glad I got the ag. tires. After working in my hilly woods, in dry loose soil, and in heavy mud, the ag. tires hardly spin. I almost got the R4 tires that were on the tractor in the dealer’s lot. In my test drive at the dealer, the R4s were much smother riding on asphalt, but spun fairly easily in the loose dirt. My dealer said he sells less than 10% ag. tires on compacts, but he did nothing to discourage me from getting them. Other dealers told me outright that I did not want ag. tires. Thanks to the great advise here, I feel that I got the best tires for my needs. When I tear up my future yard and my wife yells at me I may feel differently, but that will be later
