What causes tractor tire wear on roads is the squirm that every tire does as it makes it's footprint on the road. Anything that you can do to lessen that twisting will increase tire life. Weight is a big factor because it causes the tire to squat so you have more footprint on the road. The higher the air pressure in the tire makes a tire last longer because of less footprint. Tread design also makes a difference with sharper angles (like 45 degree) making the tire twist more while on the road. Less angle (like 23 degree)has to twist less and has longer life. Also long bar/short bar tires like to wear out the short bar because it doesn't have as much support so it twists more that the long bar. So the answer is to run the least amount of wieght, highest air pressere allowed and choose the right tire when replacing.
