Not normally. Even with turf tires, traction isn't a problem when mowing. Added weight will reduce slippage when pulling heavy loads like plowing.
Calcium chloride antifreeze solution is normally used in freezing regions. Seems to me the 10-28 tires take about 25 to 30 gallons each, adding 200 - 250 lbs. to each wheel.
