The industrial tires can be ok for some stuff. I have em because
my ground is very soft. They always dig in for plenty of traction,
and the front ones can handle the loader much better than the
ags. They put a lot of loader on these little new machines. Mine
will move a 4000 lb pallet to about 4 ft high, on a machine that
only weighs 6500 lb. It will put a 2500 lb pallet to the top.

The other reason I got them is I take the thing in the woods for
logging and the ag sideways aren't really very tough.

On harder ground though they aren't good at all. The 4wd saves
you there but they aren't the ticket. The best tires for our area is
the R1-W's but they cost a bunch and the rims are expensive.

I will say stay away from Titan tires, I don't know if them buying
Goodyear has helped but I've got 50% wear on a set of fronts in
200 hrs, the industrials were supposed to last longer than the
ags. Used to go through a set of ags just as fast.
