I've always wondered about this, although I stay off the pavement with mine, the big dairy farm in town, still does several hundred by me, if not a thousand acres in the area, a fair distance from their main place, and of course the big JD quads travel in packs on the road for spring planting, makes you wonder how that really does work, depending on tire type and distance on pavement.

In NY, I belive most asphalt( and heres a technical name for the same thing, Bituminous Asphaltic Concrete LOL !!! ) wear courses used ( the top layer ) are a type 6 n.y.s. d.o.t. mix, I forget the the sieve analysis of the aggregate but probably the largest is 3/8" or 1/2" and that seems a little more coarse then then the next finer n.y.s. d.o.t. design mix 7 or 7F, those probably have 1/4" give or take, just eyeballing, not sure if their designs take in the ice and snow for better traction, interesting thought on the subject. It's funny how once in awhile a question appears here that you've always wondered about.
