Bryce, When plows were built during or some years after WWII rubber tires were nearly impossible to buy. When a farmer ordered a new plow the dealer asked if he wanted it on steel or rubber. If rubber, the plow came with rims for rubber tires, but no tires. The dealer asked the farmer to bring in 2 used tires, or the dealer just grabbed 2 old tires from his meager collection. So that is why you see a miss-mash of tires on old plows.
I agree with the others that you do not need a traction tire for the left wheel if you have the lifting hub in good shape and cleaned out. Sometimes you have to adjust the big lifting springs to help with lifting or lowering the plow.
I have an angled tire on the rear of my plow ($110 from Miller) as I like it for all the shows I go to as it is a conversation starter. But a regular 4 X 12" trailer tire will do just fine for plowing or whatever.
The two large tires on my plow are old whitewalls turned outside in...as long as I don"t scrub those whitewalls they are nearly invisible!
Keep looking for 2 used tires and buy a cheap rear tire and you will be just fine. Have fun plowing....it is a fun thing to do at plow days or wherever you want to plow.
Warning: Don"t pull your plow on paved roads very far as the wear on that rear tire will cause a blowout...I had that happen.
