To answer the original question, anything will do. I like to find bias ply tires so that they look period correct. I try to put a snow tire on the land wheel but the reality is the snow tire doesn't bite in any better than a smooth implement or car tire. You need an implement traction tire to really bite, or use tire chains. I agree you don't need that stuff most of the time, however, when you do need it and you don't have the right equpiment is when you'll be the most frustrated.
Anyway, rubber tires were available as early as 1939. If you have ever seen an IH plow with rubber tires and the wheels have seperate cast centers, I think that's what was available in 1939.

According to PO-4A, the 16" pressed steel wheel was used 1941 to 1956, and the 15" wheel was used introduced in 1950. I see 15" wheels quite often on 50's vintage #8's.
