front tires for 8-N

I have 6:00X16 3 rib tube type tires on my 8-N, cheapy tires at that. Here in Kansas we have Hedge trees---lots of thorns on little branches I run over once in awhile while mowing my pasture. Back tires seem to handle this--the front ones suck, flats all the time.You guys have any luck with a particular tire that is tough and not so many flats? Sure would like a tubeless tire, not sure those old wheels could do that though. Let me know, and thanks again.
 
Bruce........tubeless tires won't hold air on 8N's front wheels...but...you can gitt USED steel belted 6.00x16 tires that will generally prevent thorns from puncturing the tube. 6.00x16 were common on small Jap pickups. .......Dell
 
One of our 8N's has foam filled tires. Will never go flat, but that foam makes them VERY heavy. I would guess one front tire weighs 75 lbs
