[QUOTE="mark18mwm, post: 80836, member: 9306"] I would think those will work fine. I plow snow with two different skid steers, a New Holland 160 and a old bobcat 600. Both have truck tires in the winter, no chains. last night we just plowed a large factory with about 5"-6" of wet heavy snow with temps at about 30 degrees, about a slimey and slippery as it gets and no problems at all with out chains. The NH is the bosses, I was in it about 10 hours and only trouble I had was I backed on top of a pile of snow ( my own fault) and lifted the tires off the ground, otherwise no problem with traction. that skid has light truck type snow tires similar to a Blizzak tire, with factory sipes in the tire to help with traction on ice. The Bobcat 600 is mine, I keep light truck tires on all year. They are nice in the lawn, not so aggressive a tread as a skidsteer tire helps to not tear up the lawn. That being said I'm bringing the Bobcat in the woods this weekend to haul logs out. The ground is not yet froze and very soft from a lot of rain this year with about a foot of snow over the top of the ground. There are no roads or trails, I will have my chains on in the woods just to be safe. One tip with truck tires, you might want to use tubes in the tires to run lower tire pressure, that helps with traction quite a bit. With to low air pressure with out tubes you can break the bead on tight turns when you have good traction. I think you will be happy with the skinny tires, I am, and I was a believer in chains a few years ago. [/QUOTE]
