ford 5000 front tire size question

I'm looking to swap out the 3-rib tires/wheels on my ford 5000- the ground I work on here is too soft most of the year and the narrow width really sinks into the ground. I want to go with a wider tire/wheel combination similar to the ones in the pic (not my tractor). The tires in the pic look almost automotive- not sure if they would be appropriate. My Tractor has a front loader on it which makes for a heavy front end at times.
 

A wider rim with implement tires that have better flotation or a set of heavy duty pickup truck tires.
I'd go with truck tires, implement tires tend to slide in mud more than I like.
 
You just about have to go with a wider rim to make
any appreciable gain. An 11L-15 or 12.5L-15 wagon
tire will give more flotation, but like Destroked said,
they slide. A 10.00x16 or 11.00x16 tire and rim from
a bigger Ford will give the floatation, have the
needed offset, and not slide like an implement tire.
Check boneyards for 7000's, 7600's, 9600's, etc.
 
I put wider rims an 11L implement tires on my 6610, made huge difference, would never go back to tri rib on loader tractor.
 
Looks like the overpriced one in Battleground. Get the right offset to put wider tires on. Do not try to just reverse the wheels as it can and will put undue stress on your spindles and cost you a spindle. Don't ask. BTDT.
 
Thank you all for the replies. Yes, that is the overpriced one in Battle Ground. It caught my attention because I also live in Battle Ground and saw this on Craigslist and then noticed the tires so I thought I'd ask for ideas on the front tires.
