The debate and indecision about traction tires vs. turf-friendly tires will go on until the heat death of the universe unless a new solution is invented.
How about this. You get ags. But then there is a rubberized tread that you can put on over the ag tires themselves. Like chains, but a nice snug fit that completely covers the ag tread. I dont exactly know how the attachment would work. The underside of this "overtread" would have a female indentation pattern that would exactly fit over the ag tread design. This would keep the overtread from slipping during tire use. The topside of the overtread would have a turf design.
You would leave on the overtread as your normal tread and take it off when you needed traction. An additional benefit would be that when you wore down the turf tread, you could just buy a new overtread instead of a whole new tire. The underlying ag tire would essentially never wear out because you would only be using it infrequently.
Feel free to tread all over this thought.
