Vredestein traction+. Or whatever the new range is called. But I'd go for 480/70 R38 size

Agribibs last for ages and grip like nothing else. As above, 480’s are nice.. so omnibibs are my choice there and cheap from Terry Elsey tyres.

Maybe a little more to buy, but I am getting over 8 thousand hours with 10% left on the front of the loader tractor. That seems cheap per hour.. and Grip and ride great. Not a daft front axle with a limited slip diff tho, then they only lasted 4K hours..

Only pulling your leg !!!!! I'm a firm fan of Michelin for the farm and the road....interestingly changed the front tyres on my 3 year old Toyota Landcruiser yesterday.....just clicked over 62,000 kilometres from new... mix of fast open roads and rough country unpaved or metal roads as they call them over here.....Michelin Latitudes...$490 each...Goodyear's $295 each... fitted the Michelin's!
