You guys above, are they the Nokian brand? I understand that their rubber is a softer compound.
The reason I ask is that I have that same tread style (does it actually having a name?) BKT just mounted on the rear and an Alliance on the front.
I think they are an improvement over R1's and are a dream on the road, but in the proper ice conditions
.
2 storms ago I had to call for backup just to get out of this driveway. It was up hill and sloped to the right, all solid ice. I spun the tractor 180* with every try nearly missing the deck posts. The salt/sand truck backed down and saved me
