Jim,
From what I have learned about tires on #8 plows I learned from the late, great Hugh MacKay. Those who knew him would agree that he was the foremost authority on old plows.
He told me most #8s before WWII were on steel. For several years after WWII you could order plows with wheels for either steel or rubber. Problem was new rubber tires were very hard to get, even for autos, trucks, etc. Result was when you ordered wheels for tires, and when the plow arrived at the dealership the dealer would ask you to bring in 2 used auto tires or he would install 2 used tires if he had them.
That is why thru the years you see so many old plows with a mishmash of tire types and sizes.
There really isn't any "style" of tires for #8 plows....just go with what you think is best.
If your plow is set with spring tension to assist lowering and raising, you shouldn't need a special traction tire.
Go with what you think looks best. When you are plowing and you see the soil turning over so nice and smoothly that is what will make you smile. Hope you enjoy your plow as much as I do!
