Ag vs. R4 tires

   / Ag vs. R4 tires #31  
R-1 for tractors. Tractors where made to push-pull loads, Max traction is a must.

Absolutely. Here in WNY there are LOTS of fork trucks and backhoes with the R-1's. Lots of R-4 tires and SNOW. REAL snow here.

People do have passion for tires. How about tracks?
