[QUOTE="skidsteer.ca, post: 2604, member: 307"] Personally I'm a fan of inexpensive tires, after ruining caseing on a couple different tires I just decided it would be easier to take destroying a $75 tire rather then a $150 one. I don't see where the inexpensive tire performs any poorer in regards to traction. Of course a tire with more tread dept should wear longer. I run steel tracks 90 % of the time , to improve traction and floatation, and a a result I can get 7 to 800hrs out of a set of tires, If I don't tear a giant hole in one somehow, which I think could "happen" to any tire, even the expensive ones. I usually work in a rural setting where I don't have to make sharp turns, and mostly in dirt. In terms of tire wear, from best to worrst Snow and Ice are best, then dirt and sand ,followed by concrete then asphalt. Avoid the sharp turns if possible, thats where the tire $ go. Ken [/QUOTE]
