How about Titan tire? There are probably a lot of dealers in Canada. But I would not focus on 1 manufacturer. Are you really wanting to chase 2 new Astro tires at any cost or just buy 1 Astro tire? Cost is a big factor on tires. Tires being tires they don"t raise value of tractor in accordance with what you paid for them. All that really matters is that they pull what you ask of them. If you have new tires it matters nil whether you paid $1,000 a pair or $2000. You can only get so much for the machine when sold. So I"d get quotes and details on a bunch of tires, more lugs, deeper lugs, slightly wider tire, the better for your soft soil, in size as you require and go with least bidder. As for 20 years on the Astro, you probably got lucky. I doubt that a 20 year life is a requirement. You probably just need good traction and if it only lasts 10 years it"s probabbly long enough and a non-issue.
