I always thought the diamond fatback steering tires of the late 70s early 80s on like the AC7080 and Case 2590 and bigger Gleaner combines looked awesome but after operating tractors and combines with them not so impressive usually due to a lot of brake use in steering unless the front end had like the 14 front weight option so when we got our new Gleaner L3 for the farm with an eight row cornhead transferred from Michigan it had a set of R-1 single rib steering tires not cool looking to me so we called the dealer and he said try em if you don't like them I'll swap them FOC we did and they were super, they floated in soft ground and bit in at the turns and we had some cowboy operators on the ends. I know with that said it was on a combine with an eight row so weight wasn't an issue but it was a tire I've seen in rice country on the fronts of the likes JD5020s and such it was just a smooth tire with one giant center rib they got my vote! IMHO
