I guess that it depends upon what the intended application of them is. If it is mowing dry lawns on flat, level surfaces and not getting yelled at by the home owners, turf tires. But if the lawns are anything but dry, as posted below, they become useless slicks and will actually do more damage spinning on the lawn, than not. Fortunately for myself, I don't do anyones lawns and don't have to worry about that. I did however once purchase a Deere 950 from a friend that needed the money and it had turfs at about 90% on it. They lasted one year until I changed them out to Ags and now actually use that little tractor from time to time as opposed to complaining about it taking up a productive corner of a barn. The dealer gave my old turfs to a relatively poor elderly couple that couldn't afford decent new tires on their small tractor, even mounted them for free since were a good customer in years or decades past. I bet the elderly gentleman shakes his fist in my direction anytime he tries to propel his tractor on anything but a dry flat level surface, but, they were free.
