best lug for steer tires

I am going to buy new steering tires for my JD 4400. It had implement tires that were getting bad.
I would like more lug than the implement tires. What are your opinions about if 3 rib or 4 rib would be best?
 
It seems like most 3 rib have a tall center rib, and two little outer ones. I have 4 rib tires on my old 4020, which has a light, old New Idea loader on it. I like that the 4 ribs are fairly even and support the weight evenly.
 
3 rib the middle rib will dig down and grip on corners and steer better, will dig up sod some.

4 rib will carry more on top, float a tiny bit better, but will skid a bit more when trying to corner in soft stuff.

Depends which way you want to go.
