I am plowing-snowblowing and moving 4' round bales with studded tires on steep driveways and rough pasture for feeding bales. For 6 years I used chains on front tires, often had rear end slide sideways on hill or lacked rear traction when front end was in ditch. So far studded tires have eliminated those issues but I never tried Hankook snow tires without studs?I got the rims but I am having trouble getting studded tires - how much do you think the studded add versus M&S winter tires?
Best part's are ride is so much better in rough conditions and added confidence crossing spots I had trouble with in the past. Also not having to worry about tire chain coming apart.
I did use bucket to clear a concrete feeding area the other day of packed hay and noticed the narrow snow tires do not give me the same traction as the skid steer tires in those conditions.
