I have always liked the R-4 tires(industrial).
There were 2 reasons I went with R-4's.
1-Decent traction while not tearing up my yard while finish mowing.
2-They just plain look GOOD !!

Wolbert,
I orginally wanted the ag's, but changed to the R-4's. The ag's were taller, and very very close to the rear fenders.
R-4's grip very good, ( I didn't think they would grip this good, might be the weight of the tractor too), and are more puncture resistant.
The ag's rubbed the loader frame, see the nice cut in the tread.

Also I put windsheild washer fluid in my rear tires,and the R-4's hold a lot more fluid.
Without the fluid and the loader bucket full the tractor was very unstable in rough or hilly terrain .
I loaded the R-4's and it was a HUGE differance.The tractor is very stable now and I can get into and out of some bad situations

The industrial tires I would pick,for when your making tight turns you won't be rolling up the ground,also better handling plus ride the when useing the fel.

I vote for the R4s! They do look great. DK65 that has to be one powerful tractor. Is that your trailer in the one picture? If so I might have some trailering questions for you if you do not mind.

Kodiac,
Yes that is my trailer. The DK65 is powerful,,, I have never been lacking for power with it /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif.
I have a sunshade for the tractor, but cannot put it on due to it not fitting in the garage, /w3tcompact/icons/sad.gif. I also took the exhaust stack off and put a slightly shorter stainless steel one one on /w3tcompact/icons/cool.gif so it would fit in the garage.
It is now time for the pole barn!!!
Ask away about trailer ???'s.
