Bought a used M59 about three years ago. Idea was to replace my aging ag tractors and backhoe. No end to the comparison between R1 and R4 tires. Complicated by the tremendous lift strength of the FEL.
1000 hours had worn the fronts. I first grooved the worn tires to improve traction in mud and pasture. Could tell a difference.
After about a year the price dropped on these.
Carlisle Ultra Guard Industrial Tire -10-16.5 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B011O3WA8G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_53fjEbV4G2701
The deep, sharp lugs made a bigger difference in traction for the conditions I operate in. These tire are much heavier constructed than the OEM. May groove these too as they wear. Interesting thing is that the narrow grooves pick up gravel from driveway act like studs.
B26 grooved fronts help with mowing on slopes.
And the little snow we get.
